I found an interesting article on global warming today at American Thinker. The Epicycles of Global Warming by James Lewis presents how those who believe in man-made global warming, or by its new name, climate change, do not give up the faith just because of the facts. They just make excuses to keep their faith in the topic. It is a good read.
Mr Lewis explains the renaming of man-made global warming:
“Human-caused global warming” has now officially been re-named “climate change” to explain the inconvenient truth that the winter of 2007-8 was the coldest in a century, in spite of all those tons of “greenhouse gas” being spewed into the air from all the new factories in China and India. Worldwide temps dropped 0.6 of a degree C in one year.That may not sound like a lot, but it’s more than all the ballyhooed warming in the preceding century.
Mr Lewis explains how they excuse themselves when the fact do no support their faith in the topic:
“Epicycles” are cycles on top of cycles. When traditional astronomy began to collapse in the years before Copernicus, True Believers reacted by adding lots of little cycles on top of the great cycles of the planetary orbits, to protect their faith. Trouble is, they had to add so many cycles on top of cycles that eventually, the whole system became a laughingstock. Ultimately you could explain anything you wanted — after the fact.
Who really is trying to protect those who profess this crisis:
That’s the real global warming tragedy — a speculative bubble in science, which happens all the time, has now been protected by the politicians, and allowed into an ugly and expanding volcanic pressure point. It is threatening to erupt and engulf climate modeling around the world. Scientists are pretty ruthless with open failure.
