The Debate Is Over Beware Asshats Who Debate Science |

"If the number of Islamic terror attacks continues at the current rate, candlelight vigils will soon be the number-one cause of global warming. " |

"The same study showed that 69 percent of those polled believe it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs."
The consensus is clear. Falsification of global warming is occurring. The evidence is incontrovertible. The debate is over.

This. is. science !
The debate is not over.
Was it over when Copernicus overthrew the Earth-centrists?
Was it over when Einstein overthrew Newton?
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It's never over.
That points out the real question here, Doug: Is Global Warming a scientific problem or a religious one? It is never over for religious zealots, facts be damned.

Ya know, on this whole "Science is settled" thang? Some jamoke around 1910 was saying "why study physics? It's all Newtonian, there's nothing left to learn." Then along comes E=mc² and Schrödinger and Heisenberg and the rest of the 20th century.
Nice equations, great predictors. But then they say, c, the speed of light, is fastest thing in the universe. I don't believe that. I can't prove them wrong of course, but keep your eyes on the quantum mechanics boyos.
I'd bet good money that within my lifetime that piece of settled science is going out the window.
Turing word: geniz. Exactly.
GrinfilledCelt,
Spot on.
Sure looks like they're treatin' skeptics, deniers, and unbelievers as heretics or worse, blasssspheeemers!
(Obligatory Python clip.)
Anthropogenic Global Warming is about as likely as Anthropogenic Plate Tectonics.
Look back a half million years, and that hockey stick looks pretty damned silly.
