Global Scaremongering
onah Goldberg has a great essay on the upcoming Al Gore movie, An Inconvenient Truth, a movie designed to scare everyone about Global Warming.
Again...
How can everyone be so silly? How can we expect the people who can't accurately tell us the weather 3 days from now to tell us how the climate will be 50 or 100 years from now?
From computer models?
Remember GIGO? Garbage In, Garbage Out. The great danger of computer programming.
We have a bunch of scientists who think they know enough about weather and climate that by putting a bunch of numbers into a computer, into a program THEY created, that they can generate an accurate and predictable climate far into the future.
Right. And Microsoft will make our lives easier.
Never mind that 60 climatologists from around the world wrote Canada's prime minister that "observational evidence does not support today's computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future."
Never mind that in the last 8 years there has been no significant increase in global temperature (actually a minor decrease).
Don't tell that to Al Gore, the ex-future President of the United States who can only gain an audience by running around being the Premiere Elite Global Warming Scaremonger.
It's junk science galore. Just because everyone is saying it doesn't make it true. There's an inconvenient truth for you...
Just like the Population Bomb of the late-60s (remember when the world was going to face mass starvation?) or the Coming Ice Age of the early-1970s (remember that one?)
Everyone wants to fix the world. It's simply too much trouble for them to fix themselves.
