I must emphasize a few key-points by Zenaan on the "global warming" fairy tale:
Well, this one was brought by Jim > I don't see how there can be "scientific consensus" unless there are > accurate computer models which show how up climate temperature increases as > a product of addition of CO2 to the atmosphere. Both qualitatively and > quantitatively. > > From Lord Kelvin: > “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in > numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in > numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be > the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced > to the stage of science.” > Zenaan > Vehemently claiming "theory" is not theory and is actually "fact" does not > make said theory, facts. > !!! Yes we are impacting the environment (pollution), yes we are pumping > various gases into the atmosphere, no we cannot be certain of > anthropogenic global warming OVER AND ABOVE 'natural' causes (the sun > cycles, natural/ cyclical changes in the earth, more?) > !!! Could it be that those challenging a dearly held assertion ***(here it's > the global "warming" assertion, yesterday it was the moon fairy-tale and > the Tor fairness assertions, you know), do so not from any contrariness, > not from any obtuse stubbornness nor even belligerance, but from a > heartfelt desire to seek 'the truth' and to discover the true facts behind > an assertion made by another? > !!! *Is there any possibility that our personal programming be our Western* > *schooling system is so ingrained, so deep, that parts of it are simply* > *unseen by our not so humble selves?* > !!!
