Which is funny, given he didn't believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming.

Belief has nothing to do with it.

Precisely.

Amazing that nobody mentions that while the Arctic ice cover has been at
record lows, there have been record highs in the Antarctic.

Or the inconvenient truth that there has been no increase in temperature
for over 17 years now, completely invalidating all the models.

Ok. Wait a minute. Didn't the article I posted say that the Arctic had grown by 60%. Befuddling some travel through the NW Passage this summer? I'm aware of the Antarctic growth as well.

One has to consider that the "models" were constructed with a result in mind and have no bearing in the real world. Once it was discovered that the temp. readings were being taken during a time when nearby machinery would produce the desired outcome it all fell to pieces. Well there's that and the emails of them talking about manipulating the data. OH! And the billions they've made off of suckers that buy this ****.

Without "believing" I personally have done more to combat
it than ANYONE that has children.


I'm with you 100% I don't have children and I ride a bicycle
everyday. When I'm not riding a bicycle I'm driving a golf cart.

BTW, the Earth has been warming for 12,000 years. My property was
once covered by hundreds of feet of ice. I don't think we had
anything to do with that.


Quick! Read this before someone else does.

" I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the
rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus
science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped
cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the
first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that
the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of
scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because
you're being had.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with
consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the
contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which
means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the
real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is
reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great
precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't
science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period. "


Michael Crichton

Consensus science said the Earth was flat, man couldn't fly, and the
moon was made of cheese.

Today we have GPS satellites orbiting the Earth, monkeys fly out of
people's butts and man has walked on the moon.

Only if you ignore the oceans, where most of the warming is going. Just watch
what happens when the next big el-nino years happens.
