The abstract makes zero sense, as for example it does not handle the matter of a whole lot of highly esteemed solar physicists who are strongly warning that the sun may be entering a cooling phase.
I guess paying one's own money for gibberish makes it meaningful and more 'coherent' to some. To me, that it makes one more of a horses' ass.
I suppose that most people who punch through the pay-wall to get at such drivel actually use my tax dollars to do it though. For now.
Lol you babbling retard. I am not part of any education institution. I clicked on it and was able to read it. That was it.
Why you guys have such problems, I don't know. I should try from another browser without the cookies I suppose... OH well, I'm sure it'd be some other bullshit so you can cognitively be at peace with yourself. That paper explains why you guys think the way you do. If you had the capacity to read it objectively and apply it within the framework of your own world views, you'd understand how solidly it nails what you're about.
I can see from the abstract that the screed is full of shit. Any quasi-scientist understand that one rarely 'knows' anything, making the suggestion that we 'deniers' hold mutually conflicting views absurd.
I was actually disposed to believing that 'global warming' was real until I actually looked into the science behind it. This occurred after wilikon started this thread in fact. It only took a few days of study for me to realize that it was a sham of epic proportions, and almost everything I've seen since only strengthens my hypothesis here. Again, the 'anthropogenic global warming is a hoax' hypothesis is remarkably coherent and corroborated by observations.
It may have escaped you, but the models upon which a lot of policy and false 'hope' were based are old enough not to be verified against reality and they have failed miserably. Slightly less well known is that while human generated fossil fuel use _rates_ have increased it is not matched in global CO2 concentrations which have not even realized an observable impact. In scientific terms, this means that your theory is proven false. Yet people want to stick with the pre-supposed solution (which is, give a certain group of people vast amounts of money and control of the global economy) for some reason.
Epic that you turn this into some anti-government rant. You guys are like so far out there. You got the feds looking in your windows at night or what?
Ever heard of a guy named Snowden?
You guys are so pumped full of the biases of anti-government that you can't help yourselves. You MUST save face.
We can argue about the science all day and you guys will keep saying it is wrong. I find it exceptionally coincidental that people have been saying this would be happening for decades and we're seeing all sorts of direct evidence. I guess it was just coincidence that global warming is falling directly in line with what scientists have been saying for decades... or solar flares? What do you guys blame it on? Solar maximum?
Look, I agree government types want power. Thats why I describe myself as a libertarian liberal. Although I understand how libertarianism falls apart in so many areas and can only be used as an ideal philosophy to achieve, not as a direct framework to create all (limit?) laws. I don't like stupid bureaucrats. I grew up in the public education system and managed to score top 1/2 % on the SAT while barely graduating HS and learning next to nothing there. If I'd had better teachers in some classes, my life could have been better. Instead, I got goofy government workers and I was too young to realize their incompetence. I think that formed my anti-authoritarian roots.
However you guys got this one wrong. It is sad. Look into yourself and your biases and realize that we should do something about this ASAP. Save all the anti-government passion for things where they really do not know what they're talking about.
