The Science is Settled

Written by Douglas Wilson

So, then, record snow storms in all kinds of odd places. Evidence for melting Himalayan glaciers . . . melts. The culprits were caught cooking the books. The guy at the center of that controversy now admits that nothing has been warming since 1995, and beside, they lost a bunch of papers, with evidence n' stuff.

So then, please permit me to announce that global warming is over, and climate change is also over. The weather continues on, but that's okay. It always does that. What does this mean? It means the science is settled! Let the healing begin!

Can we keep our old light bulbs? The weird glow from those new ones would bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow.

Good luck getting the government to kill the upcoming ban on incandescents. Stock up before 2012!

Well, the Mayans said the world will end in 2012 anyway, so I guess we're ok.

This whole global warming debacle teaches Christians to stop being tossed by every wind of worry that the world festers up. The world loves to worry. We don't need to participate.

Incandescent bulbs!? Where's
your organic spirit? I'm holding
out for the return of whale oil
lamps.

The Warmaniac's most exasperating judgements were not the warming trend data and the extrapolations thereof - which seemed somewhat plausible, if unproven - but their ridiculous certainty that the developed and developing world must needs alter, cap, and even halt such a crucial factor in providing the cheapest, most efficient means of industrial, technological, and economic prosperity the world has ever known.

How could they be so sure that the effect of such alterations would be less bad than adaptations to climate change?

PBS and such are still full scale indoctrinating the masses that gw is so. Peolple watch these programs and believe what they see

Robert,

I agree that it is not over yet. GW has become the religion of the left elitists and they will not give it up until/unless something else comes along. Depraved men crave idols.

Leftists aren't happy unless they're indignant. What idol will they command us to worship next? Global warming was a sweet deal for them--big enough to justify thought police and shutting down the world's economies. It's hard to imagine a satisfactory replacement.

On reflection, it's not hard at all. War would do it, provided it's nasty enough and the left likes it.. Their definition of good war seems to be ones for which Republicans get no credit.

For future reference, the Daily Mail isn't exactly well known for its rigorously honest science reporting. See http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2010/02/daily-mangle/ for a response from climate scientists.

I've always been curious why US Christians (I'm Canadian) and conservative types tend to be reflexively "against" the idea of global warming? It should be 100% a scientific issue, and yet I can usually guess what a person's opinion on the subject will be if I know a bit about their religious background.

Of course, questions like cap & trade and what we should do about global warming (if it exists) are understandably controversial. But is there some reason, theological or otherwise, why opinion in this camp seems so consistently against the mainstream scientific opinion? Unlike evolution, I can't think of any theological implications if GW turns out to be true.

Just curious!

We were forced to change our lightbulbs over here in Australia - the powers-that-be phased the old ones out over a period of time and now we can't buy incandescent for love nor money.
People are very unhappy with the new ones - they're slow to light up, don't look nice, are expensive and don't last as long as claimed. Try not to go there
