Global Warming? It's Freezing in Here!

Looks like Al Gore's minions took another credibility hit.

From the piece:

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand.

The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

Who says science is objective? From where I'm standing, science is what a bunch of high-horse people in white coats says it is. Science can be just as politicized as, you guessed it, religion. They even have their own orthodoxy vs. heresy arguments as well. This global warming debate and all the shenanigans involved in the manipulation of the public mind is but one example of the chaos that is the scientific establishment.

Global warming, my ass.


"Al Gore said we'd be in for a hot winter. Bastard."
