Climate change? Not so fast say ScientistsRead the whole thing. Those "scientists" who declare the subject to be settled and beyond debate - as Professor Al Gore does - are finding themselves being criticized mightily by their colleagues.

Its become a mantra on the left…
"Manmade Global Climate Change!"
"We must HALT it!"
"We're DOOMED!"
Good grief, many of us are old enough to recall the last time the public consciousness was assaulted with this utter nonsense. Then it was all about global COOLING. Today it’s Global WARMING. Those who have been chanting this mantra have simply switched sides of the mantra fence they are chanting on, and have been at this for decades. The surprising part is; masses of gullible people still believe them!
Liberals have enjoyed this particular niche for decades. For them it has become that comfy pillow and blankie they just can’t give up.
Thankfully real scientists are now fighting back. Successfully! [link]
There is, in fact, plenty of room for debate. The statistical data that pours in doesn't support the notion that the planet is warming at all. Nor has any scientist proven that the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (which are occurring) means humans have brought that increase about, or even that it's necessarily a bad thing.
Computer modeling is fine. But only for the purpose of developing postulates. Scientists - real scientists - will want to test those propositions against real world circumstances at some point. To germinate a theory and then declare it to be inviolable is at least stupid, and at worst dangerous.
So, scientists, unless you want to be accused of being Scientologists, be scientists!

FWIW, did you know Global Warming shrieker Thomas Freidman's carbon footprint may be even bigger than Al Gore's?
The July 2006 issue of Washingtonian reported that [Friedman] owns "a palatial 11,400-square-foot (1,060 m2) house, currently valued at $9.3 million, on a 7½-acre parcel just blocks from I-495 and Bethesda Country Club.
LISTEN BUDDY, I PAID FOR THIS CARBON FOOTPRINT!
Silence, peasant! You're criticizing your betters. Between jetting and limo-ing around to "save" us, Rev. Algore is buying carbon credits--you're not doing that--yet, but the Dems are working on it. Of course, Algore owns the company selling the credits. Wonder if his buddy Thomas al Friedman, Global Warming Jihadist Extraordinaire is getting his wholesale from Algore's company? (I can't believe I wrote that in the 21st Century. Seems like people are just as superstitious as the cave-men of yore. Next, I'll be sacrificing my Zucchini to appease the gods while I invoke the name of Obama-ayers to save the climate. Well, he did promise to lower the seas, yes?)
Rev. Algore is buying carbon credits--you're not doing that
dickie, you magnificent bastard! You've created the answer -- a new program whereby the government insures bank loans made to poor folks so we can pay our carbon debts! Cars, tractors, lawn mowers, Christmas bonfires -- everything can be financed! Then the government uses that money to expand the carbon credit loan program, which can offer more loans, and so on and so forth. Gentlemen, start your engines!
Gee, the first time I've ever been called "magnificent". There was a drill sergeant who called me "maggot" which is pretty close. Always wondered if that was a promotion or a demotion from his usual "assh---".
Actual climate scientist, disagree with ole Al.
Drew...take note and read all the links.
