Science: What is relevant is reproducible results

"Aliens Cause Global Warming" from Michael Crichton:
Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.

Climate Change (2)


Marlo Lewis Testifies in the Senate on Global Warming


"Global-Warming Jujitsu" by John Tierney:
“The surprising conclusion using the Stern Review’s own estimates,” Dr. Goklany writes, “is that future generations will be better off in the richest but warmest” of the I.P.C.C.’s scenarios.

"Now for the Good News" (Cato Institute):
.... we today find that the richest countries are also the cleanest. And while many developing countries have yet to get past the "green ceiling," they are nevertheless ahead of where today's developed countries used to be when they were equally wealthy ....

CO2 and Temperature (from An Inconvenient Truth)



Proof that the famous CO2 graph has been manipulated and therefore isn't trustworthy





The Great Global Warming Swindle (Parts 3 & 4 )


Junk Science: "Breaking the hockey stick:
The famous graph that supposedly shows that recent temperatures are the highest in a thousand years has now been shown by careful analysis to have been based on faulty data.
"If we used Mann's method on red noise, we consistently obtained hockey sticks ....

.... Mann's climate reconstruction methodology would have yielded a hockey-stick graph from any tree-ring data set entered into the model, as long as there is sufficient red noise.
