Must Read Global Warming Piece of the Day
Here’s another climatologist setting the record straight on Al Gore’s film, which even the studies Gore cites fail to back up his claims.
The UN’s IPCC group has dropped their estimates significantly from their previous report. Many other studies simply do not agree with the GW claims.
Al Gore may win a best documentary Oscar tomorrow for his film, but it would be another win for a piece of polemical fiction, like Michael Moore’s much discredited Fahrenheit 911. Hollywood’s concept of reality seems to be as real as the CGI found in a low budget movie.
It’s the questionable “science” of climate change that bugs me. Think about an astronomer who can calculate the exact date, time, and duration of an eclipse a hundred years in the future because he can calculate all the variables involved. That’s science.
Compare that with the GW crowd who ignore all but a few of the variables in a highly complex system like planet Earth. Their poor predictions based on estimated numbers need to be revised every few years toward less hysterical results. That’s not science, that’s guessing. The IPCC changes their sea level rise prediction from 30 inches to 17 without so much as a mea culpa. Gore still sticks by his 20-foot fearmongering nonsense with nothing to back it up. But, like you said, it will likely win him an Oscar.
Speaking of exaggerations, have you seen the Angry Kid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7875_rv1s
Posted by Paul T on 02/24 at 08:36 PMThat’s is the same drivel they were saying in the early 70s about the 1990s. They said there would be no food, no oil, no trees, blah blah blah.
I remember that stuff well, because I was the age of the kid in that video. But I knew they were wrong then and as an adult now, I know they are wrong again.
These people are the biggest liars imaginable. But not only that, they’re stupid. When you make predictions that don’t come true, making them again is beyond idiotic.
