Raise the Hammer

historywillspitonus,

The fact is, climate scientists failed to predict that this past year would be as cold as it was. This inability to predict near term temperatures highlights the complete folly of basing major decisions on untested, and porous theories.

As I have said previously, human beings are terrible when it comes to predicting long term trends, and the climate is no different.

The fact that computers are involved does not change this fact, as computer models were recently used for predicting risk in the recent sub prime crisis. The people that developed those models were highly educated, and they were also completely wrong.

Your opinion is that I am misinformed about Arctic ice, and year on year weather weather changes, so what? The fact is, I am not claiming to be an expert on long term climate trends, it is your group that is doing this.

You have the burden of providing accurate, and predictive information, no one else. You have failed to do this, and in fact flipping a coin would appear as insightful as your scientific consensus has been.

The fact that climate scientists have a title beside their name does not mean they are super human. I know most people look to authority figures for direction in their life, but that is no excuse for not thinking critically about what is being claimed as absolute truth.

Open your eyes, look around you, and you will see the world is much the same as it has been for the past century. The only thing that has changed is the message, and that is that humans are bad, Mother Earth is good, and we need to start praying at the alter of the environment.

In my opinion, humans are rational creatures who have always adapted to changes in the environment, and we will continue to do so. No central planning needed, just individuals making the best decision for themselves and their families.
