Most came from Balbulican but I added a couple an' so did sum other boogers.<BR/>****************************<BR/>Logical fallacies that get in the way of critical thinking on climate change.<BR/><BR/>a) I don’t like the Kyoto Accord, therefore climate change models are wrong.<BR/><BR/>b) I don’t like the way that media focus on the most sensational aspects of the IPCC finding, therefore climate change models are wrong.<BR/><BR/>c) I don’t like the UN, therefore climate change models are wrong.<BR/><BR/>d) Some scientists are suggesting additional mechanisms that may contribute to climate change, therefore climate change models are wrong.<BR/><BR/>e) It’s snowing today, therefore global warming isn’t happening.<BR/><BR/>f) I don’t like Al Gore, therefore climate change models are wrong. <BR/><BR/>g) A huge majority of scientists agrees that humans contribute to global warming: science is not made by voting: therefore they’re wrong.<BR/><BR/>h) The actual scientific papers are long and complicated, and therefore they’re wrong. <BR/><BR/>i) Besides, even if Global Warming is real, it’s Gods will - didn’t you heathens know that? <BR/><BR/>j) Man has always adapted to change and our superior intellect and technology’ll see us through. <BR/><BR/>k) The world has only raised 0.6 degrees Centigrade so Global Warming isn’t happening.<BR/><BR/>l) Some scientists were wrong one other time, so all scientists are always wrong.<BR/><BR/>***************************<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-7304463219927957942007-02-17T09:00:00.000-05:002007-02-17T09:00:00.000-05:00Holy greenhouse effect Batman, aren't these NOAA s...Holy greenhouse effect Batman, aren't these NOAA scientists the same who now tell us we should carbon tax our economies so we can give the money to the Russians to pay for these Kyoto credit things while the Chinese build a coal fired power plant a week?<BR/><BR/>No Boywonder, that was their dads, their kids make their money now telling us the opposite is gonna happen.<BR/><BR/>Golly Batman, but what would we have done if we had listened to the dads?<BR/><BR/>Well Boywonder, according to that Newsweek piece we would have covered the ice caps with soot to melt them. <BR/><BR/>But Batman aren't these scientists smarter and isn't their equipment better and doesn't that mean they have all the answers?<BR/><BR/>Yes, of course it does Boywonder, and their dads said the same thirty years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-92192451890820675752007-02-17T08:38:00.000-05:002007-02-17T08:38:00.000-05:00Back in 1960-sumpin', the scientists sed they was ...Back in 1960-sumpin', the scientists sed they was sure cigarette smokin' causes cancer. The tobacco industry spent 40 years denyin' that science. Gummints continued t' not take any positive action t' curtail smokin' an' even helped tobacco farmers an' processors with gummint handouts an' research grants t' help 'em grow more tobacka an' make more cigarettes.<BR/><BR/>Thousands an' thousands died from tobacka-induced lung cancer over the past 40 years. More are dyin' everyday, even now. Why? Because the tobacka industry makes big money fer both itself an' fer gummint by way o' taxes. Industries with big profits use them profits t' lobby gummint an' cancer victims mostly spent all their money on cigarettes an' cancer treatment.<BR/><BR/>Now, we got one industry - oil & gas -- that's makin' big money an' doin' the selfsame sorta lobbyin' that the tobacka industry done. Denyin' their industry causes any harm an' continuin' t' make bushels o' dough an' t' use sum of it t' lobby gummint. <BR/><BR/>Denyin' facts don't make 'em less factual -- it don't matter if yer denyin' the evidence fer 5 minutes or 50 years.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-35245691947813546982007-02-17T06:56:00.000-05:002007-02-17T06:56:00.000-05:00HOLY GREAT NOSTALGIA BATMAN:"Climatologists are pe...HOLY GREAT NOSTALGIA BATMAN:<BR/><BR/>"Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects."<BR/><BR/>From the IPCC 2007 report? <BR/><BR/>No Boy Wonder. It’s from Newsweek, April 28, 1975. Check it out, a scary read; it’s got charts, maps, even warnings from NOAA scientists.
