Excellent point. Science used to be a "good" thing because it told us what
is true or put us on the course toward it. Now much of science is "bad"
because it interferes with what we WANT to believe. I think overall we WANT
to believe that man is destroying the planet because it proves to us that
man CAN destroy the planet. And if man can destroy the planet, man can SAVE
the planet.
God, what a proud and stiff-necked people we are.
I've researched connections in solar activity, which I think has been a
major player since the last ice age set in (not a major player to Earth, but
to us). I also like those volcano things. Talk about your ultimate polutant.
Uh oh, I guess volcanoes are natural so they don't pollute. Anyhow, I
digress. My chief scientific "gripe" is that the IPCC fixed solar power as a
constant in climate modelling, not a variable. The sun does not change.
What's next? The Earth is still flat?
I recall Vice President Gore bemoaning the Red River Valley floods a couple
of years ago and how we obviously needed a new tax on carbon products in
order to fend off the effects of anthropogenic global warming. And there is
just the problem; blaming ourselves is good politics.
