[Vision2020] Institute for Public Accuracy: "Media Miss theForest for the Burning Trees"

[Donovan Arnold]

Let me get this straight, Gary;
 
A guy thinks and publically announces he knows more than all the climate scientists put together about climate. 
 
Doesn't believe in the scientific method of research. 
 
Has questions that have been answered at least 100 times in language a sixth grader could easily comprehend. 
 
Most his research and education has been with Google Community College and the University of Wikipedia. 
 
And you think this is a demonstration of superior intellect and an exercise in critical thinking skills?

Somebody please correct me if I'm misremembering the AGW dialog that has been running at a steady pace for the last few months. (If not years)
 
Mr. Rumelhart has conceded that the earth does in fact appear to be growing warmer.
 
He has allowed as how human activity likely does have some impact on said warming.
 
He has stated that he thinks it might well be a good idea to reduce carbon emissions in a sensible manner.
 
But, he's not quite ready to commit body and soul to the Church of The Sky Is Falling as he seems to have detected a few inconsistencies and has a few questions.
 
In other words the rat bastard is thinking for himself and Lord knows we can't have any of that! Let's continue to belittle him as a dolt and a liar because
what else could he be if he refuses to get on board with the prevailing group think of the moment?
 
"Progressive liberals" are funny.

Paul Rumelhart stated:

"Why do I even care what you [Donovan Arnold] think?  That's really the question.  The answer is:  I don't."


Yet, Mr. Rumelhart . . .

You spend three paragraphs stating that you don't care.  If I were a psychiatrist, I'd suspect that you are struggling with issues . . . deep, deep issues.

On the bright side, though, I am impressed that you managed to put three sentences together without using profanity.

Now, about those issues . . .
