Matters of Science

It would be really nice if truth and facts rather than contorted proclamations that anything and everything weather-wise, according to climate alarmists, is a consequence of global warming.  Quote: "...point of it all is, there is nothing we can do to change their minds. There is no evidence we could offer to show them the error of their ways. The Climate Change Zealots find proof in everything they see, even if it seems to contradict their claims. In that sense, the church of Climatology may be the religion most deeply rooted in simple, blind faith on our planet."    http://eaglerising.com/14448/theres-just-no-winning-church-climatology/

People who do this are demeaning science.  This is truly shameful behavior.   http://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2015/01/29/shoveling-science-n1949955/page/full

Some people have said this winter storm is evidence of global warming.  Some people also speak without knowing what they are talking about and just keep talking trying, I guess, to convince themselves that that do know, but they don't.  Quote: "The sum-total of the newly revealed climatic truths from Juno is zero. It was a very strong noreaster, similar to ones that occur every year or two. It produced a heckuva lot of snow, like other warm-seclusion storms in the winter, and there’s no evidence it is being juiced by global warming."     http://townhall.com/columnists/patrickmichaels/2015/01/30/did-global-warming-juice-winter-storm-juno-n1950373/page/full

Rational thoughts rather than the flood of unsubstantiated or speculative claims from global warmists.   http://townhall.com/columnists/jeffjacoby/2015/02/02/no-2014-wasnt-the-warmest-year-in-history-n1951433/page/full  Scientists should stick to conducting science rather than kowtowing to the wishes of self serving bleating politicians.  Politicians are making them look silly.

Common sense and sound judgment beat out unreliable computer models and assumptions every time.   http://humanevents.com/2015/02/03/stormy-weather-and-politics/? 

Quote: "A 2012 survey of social psychologists in the United States found that Democrats outnumbered Republicans 14 to 1. That’s soft science – not the kind relied upon by the EPA – but it illustrates a conflict that goes beyond direct funding. When the entirety of the scientific establishment is biased towards liberalism, the focus is narrowed to the field’s detriment. Conservatives are shunned, their explorations are shoved aside, and they are made to feel unwelcome in the clique. Then, when a study comes out funded by, say, the Heritage Foundation or a private company, liberal writers jump all over the “conflict of interest.” But when a study comes out from this or that prestigious university, no conflict is detected."    http://patriotnewsdaily.com/the-lefts-stranglehold-on-science/

Who are the real anti-science movers and shakers?   http://unfilteredpatriot.com/the-great-american-science-controversy/   Here is an example of a leftist anti-science university professor spouting off without any basis in fact.  He is one of the contributors to the idiocy highlighted above.  http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/michaelschaus/2015/02/08/ny-professor-global-warming-created-isis-n1954282/page/full
