If we are going through a 400 years warming p...RK:<br /><br />If we are going through a 400 years warming period, we won't know until 2278. I say this, because I have in my possession a article from the National Geographic from the late 1970s discussing the coming Ice Age.<br /><br />Me thinks you are putting today's scientists into the position of the Catholic church in the age of Martin Luther. You don't suppose fame, fortune, power and politics have taken hold of the scientific world? Has scientific data been fudged or could the level of mathematics their numbers are crunched at be too hard to understand for the pickup-drivin', gun-tottin', Bible-carryin' foundation of today's "conservative" movement? Do you have proof that scientists actually fudged their data? Or are you repeating right-wing talking about things you don't have the education or training to understand?<br /><br />I don't think scientists are as good at political spin and as political spin-mills that are funded by some of the largest, most profitable companies in the world...companies that stand to lose big with the coming of alternative energy sources and having to pay for the full cost of production.<br /><br />The "false crisis" concept of capitalism seems to have worked for the Bush administration in the first half of the 2000s. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be funny if the collectivist, acquisitive and power-hungry politicians totally forgot about global warming and were able to implement their Bolshevik plans while drilling for oil offshore, in ANWAR and replacing coal-powered electric plants with nuclear power...and 53 percent of the voting public loved the results?Sunny Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646480795775300060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13208607.post-68324391630238292312010-03-07T18:31:28.153-08:002010-03-07T18:31:28.153-08:00Here are a few things that are not funny:
What if...Here are a few things that are not funny:<br /><br />What if the world is going though a warming period similar to, but not as severe as, numerous such periods in the past, the most recent being the medieval warming period of 900-1300 AD when the Norsemen were colonizing and farming on Greenland?<br /><br /> And even less funny, what if modern scientists, complicit in the politicizing of their theories and conjectures in pursuit of greater accolades and grant monies, fudged data and suppressed dissent in order to promote their shaky assertion that the current warming cycle, unlike all past warning cycles, is man-made?<br /><br /> And the least funny would be if collectivist, acquisitive, and power-hungry politicians latched on to the shaky science of AGW to enact onerous new lifestyle restrictions, debilitating economic policies, and confiscatory taxation laws to capitalize on the false crisis that they have helped create?Roadkillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707416011632959777noreply@blogger.com
