Say can you see...

... what Tom Nelson calls "That ever-crumbling concensus" when quoting a piece by David Evans in The Autralian. [Emphasis mine.]





David Evans goes on to list the problems with the CO2 and greenhouse effect theories as applied to said warming and it is an illuminating article. He uses a lot of technical terms—like "radiosonde" and "thermometer"—which many of the eco-loons won't understand; however, I do hope that paragraphs like this one may spell it out clearly enough for them to get their pea-sized, liberal-Arts-and-Social-Sciences brains around. [Emphasis mine. Just in case it still isn't clear enough.]

I have said it before and I shall say it again: there really isn't anything to worry about and human emissions are not the main driver of climate change.

Scepticism being the default position for any decent scientist, some of us have been following the evidence and adapting our understanding rather than clinging to the same, faulty premise as though it were the Holy Book of some Green religion.

If you are an utter moron (naming no names) you will just carry on as before and—if you are a total fucking arse—use words like "denier" to equate AGW sceptics—those who question a scientific theory, the parameters of which are pretty fucking massive, and which has so far failed to predict future events with any accuracy—with those who dispute the existence or extent of the Holocaust (which is historical fact established from evidence collated from events that have already happened).

In the meantime, we deniers will try to adapt and try to stop the loony religionists spending all of our cash on this idiocy.

Perhaps now one of our more eminent warmists who sullies the post of President of the Royal Society will learn that the practice of science is less about trying to shoot the messenger and more about healthy scepticism.

My favourite factoid: UK human contribution to total greenhouse gas in the world is 0.0025%.

The new Monckton paper is also getting a lot of coverage and there are already signs that the loons who have taken over Australia are getting cold feet about bankrupting the country.

I've long found it quaintly ironic that those who create the most hot air get very worked up about a threat of hot air.

This article refers.


The holohoax is by no means a "fact"since scientific investigation is forbidden.

Scientific investigation is welcomed and widespread. You just don't agree with the results.

When has questioning the Holocaust story ever been accepted or welcomed? It is illegal in many countries and in Britain you would be in danger of being persecuted for inciting racial hatred. I see much of it as wartime propaganda. In fact I see little evidence for the idea that there was a programme of mass extermination. There is no contemporary documentation of the names of the individuals who were supposedly gassed and most of what we believe comes from eyewitness testimony.

"There is no contemporary documentation of the names of the individuals who were supposedly gassed..."

Actually, there is. This is why the Nazi Holocaust inspires such horror; the Nazis -- unlike, for instance, Stalin, who was also a dab hand at murdering millions of Jews -- kept meticulous records, you see.

From the Yad Veshem website:

"Why the lack of clarity? Didn't the Nazis keep meticulous lists?

"Actually, in most cases they didn't. Most German Jews were registered, but not all; to a limited degree this was also true in other Western Europe countries. Almost none of the Jews shot in the territories conquered from the Soviet Union were registered; Jews who perished from starvation or epidemics in all but the largest ghettoes were not listed; individual Jews hunted down in fields and forests were not recorded; and most significantly, the millions of Jews who were simply pushed off trains and into gas chambers, in most cases, were not listed. Not by the Nazis, that is. Then again, many Jews were listed in pre-war documents, or were recorded at one point or another during the war, perhaps by ghetto authorities, or other organizations; after the liberation various projects counted survivors. Many of these lists can be found on this website, at the Shoah Related List Database."
