border=0>Ted Moffett</A><FONT color=#0000ff> </FONT>has taken me to task yet
again for my comments that Global Warming is a fundamentalist religion. <BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>This is climate science, not religion, for those who
understand the difference. Subject heading tongue in cheek alert for
<A title=http://right-mind.us/
href="http://right-mind.us/tags/Global+Warming/default.aspx" target=_blank
rel=nofollow>right-mind.us</A> readers, and other deniers of the
scientific consensus among the global climate science community regarding
anthropogenic climate change. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P dir=ltr>Yet again we have more examples of the anthropogenic
warming crowd acting like fundamentalists. Evidence after evidence
demonstrates that they have wrongly interpreted the data, yet they
tenaciously hold to their faith-based assumptions. </P>
<P dir=ltr>First, I’m not too sure how old Ted is. But I’m old enough to
remember the scientific consensus in the 70’s about the “Coming Ice
Age”. As history has well demonstrated, having a consensus of
scientists on your side doesn’t prove anything. </P>
<P dir=ltr>Second, there are <STRONG><EM>a lot</EM></STRONG> of scientists
who flatly disagree with anthropogenic global warming. 31,072 American
Scientists have publicly signed a petition denying anthropogenic global
warming. There are <A
href="http://www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/Signers_By_Statephpcontent.php?run=Idaho"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>228 from Idaho</A> and <A
href="http://www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/Signers_By_Statephpcontent.php?run=Washington"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>603 from Washington</A> that have signed; and
9,021 with PhD’s. <A
href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2007/09/17/54654.aspx"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>Over 500 scientists published studies countering
global warming fears</A>. That’s not a small dissent. That’s a group who is
being vilified because they disagree with Moffett’s theory. And that’s a
fundamentalist response, not a scientific one. </P>
<P dir=ltr>Third, to demonstrate causality they have to disprove all
other theories (sunspots causing <A
href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2007/04/10/51131.aspx"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>global warming on Mars</A>, <A
href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2007/03/12/50564.aspx"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>Pluto</A>, <A
href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2007/10/08/55133.aspx"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>Triton</A>). <A href="http://Space.com"
target=_blank>Space.com</A> reports that <A
href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mars_ice-age_031208.html"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>Mars is emerging from an ice age</A>. Unless
Moffett thinks that Martians are driving too many SUVs around, then there
has to be another explanation. And why doesn’t that explanation work for the
earth and only for Mars/Pluto/Triton/etc? </P>
<P dir=ltr>There is a ton of evidence that the religion of global warming
conveniently ignores. Since the global warming alarmists are unable
to disprove alternative theories, they ignore them or vilify them.
Convenient. And quite the fundamentalist approach. </P>
<P dir=ltr>Fourth, they censor and deionize anyone who doesn’t tote the
party line. It’s funny how “only real scientists agree with us.” That’s a
convenient fundamentalist bate-and-switch tactic. “Only our religion is the
true one.”</P>
<P dir=ltr>For the record, Ted, it wasn’t I who came up with the analogy of
global warming as a fundamentalist religion. It was <A
href="http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/religion.htm" target=_blank
rel=nofollow>Michael Crichton in a speech delivered in 2003</A>. </P>
<P dir=ltr>John Brignell compares the religion of global warming and the
medieval Roman Catholic Church (especially in dealing with that
heretic/denier Galileo). <A
href="http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/religion.htm" target=_blank
rel=nofollow>Brignell notes</A> many of the glaring similarities. <A
href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2008/04/23/59576.aspx"
target=_blank rel=nofollow>As I’ve posted before</A>: </P>
<UL>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Faith and scepticism</STRONG>: “the
science of global warming is settled”, as if science were ever settled.
</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Sin and absolution</STRONG>: the sin is
your carbon footprint. The indulgence being sold is for “carbon offsets”.
</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Proselytes and evangelists</STRONG>: the
global warming crowd are more evangelistic to their cause than any Mormon
missionary or Jehovah’s Witness door-knocker. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Demagogues and hypocrites</STRONG>: Al
Gore is the classic example. He chastises everyone for their carbon
wastefulness while himself flying all over the world and heating all of
his mansions. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG><IMG alt=Sunspot-lenght-&-teperature
src="http://media.right-mind.us/right-mind/sunspotLenghtAndTeperature.gif"
align=right border=0>Infidels and apostates</STRONG>: anyone who questions
anthropogenic global warming is a “Denier” — as bad as a Holocaust Denier.
Heaven forbid someone change his mind on global warming. He would be an
apostate. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Prophecy and divination</STRONG>: “huge
and generously funded university and government departments do nothing but
develop computer models, involving assumptions about physical interactions
that are still not understood by science. Their dubious (to say the least)
results are used by the new international priesthood to frighten the
people into conformity.” This goes back to statements like “the science of
global warming is settled.” </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Puritans and killjoys</STRONG>: As Mencken
said, Puritans have “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be
happy.” The church of global warming offers nothing in the way of
improvement or even maintenance of the human condition. It’s as if they
wanted us all to become desert hermits — flagellants coercing us into
conformity. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Censorship and angles</STRONG>: “If you
think you have a good case, you can afford to present both sides, but they
don’t. The great majority of the population have no idea that there is an
alternative view. That is not science, it is religion.” In Moffett’s case,
everything that would be a counter-example to his faith is dismissed as an
anomaly. Everything that confirms his faith is a fact. That is not
science. That’s fundamentalism. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Control and taxation</STRONG>: People now
accept laws that restrict their liberty and standard of living, which
would once have provoked riots, because they are cloaked in a
quasi-religious formula of global warming. </DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Contradictions and irrationality</STRONG>:
for instance, “The EU, for example, gratuitously destroys a tiny industry
making traditional barometers, on the grounds of an irrational fear of
mercury, then imposes the use of fluorescent light bulbs that distribute
that same dreaded substance in huge quantities across the continent, all
on the basis of the threat of global warming.”</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Wealth and power</STRONG>: “What passed as
scientific research a quarter of a century ago now barely exists. To get
funding, your project has to conform to one of the mantra descriptions,
such as “sustainable development”. Doubters are afraid to speak out. Their
institutions are dependent on millions in grants at the disposal of green
officials to obtain “appropriate” results relevant to global warming and
related scares. When your institution is involved in a fight for survival,
you do not rock the boat.”</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Confession and salvation</STRONG>: “Young
children now have nightmares about the burning planet, just as some of us
once had nightmares about burning in hell unless we believed, and then lay
awake at night wondering whether we believed or not, or what “believe”
actually means. The ruthless exploitation of the receptivity of the young,
and their relentless indoctrination, is one of the less pleasant
characteristics of much of religion.” “One of the most offensive
manifestations of the new religion occurred when hundreds of the
priesthood went on one of their lavish junkets in Africa, where all around
them was suffering and death.”</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG>Envoi</STRONG>: “Extremists of the new
religion regard humanity as an inconvenience or a pestilence that can be
disposed of (not including themselves, of course).”</DIV></LI></UL>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>Moffett’s religion even has its own pope (Al
Gore). </P></DIV>

<H2>Scientific Assessment Captures Effects of a Changing Climate on
Extreme Weather Events in North America</H2>
<P id=EC_releaseDate>June 19, 2008</P></DIV>Global warming of the past 50
years is due primarily to human-induced increases in heat-trapping gases,
according to the report. Many types of extreme weather and climate event
changes have been observed during this time period and continued changes
are projected for this century. Specific future projections include:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>Abnormally hot days and nights, along with heat waves, are very
likely to become more common. Cold nights are very likely to become less
common.
<LI>Sea ice extent is expected to continue to decrease and may even
disappear in the Arctic Ocean in summer in coming decades.
<LI>Precipitation, on average, is likely to be less frequent but more
intense.
<LI>Droughts are likely to become more frequent and severe in some
regions.
<LI>Hurricanes will likely have increased precipitation and wind.
<LI>The strongest cold-season storms in the Atlantic and Pacific are
likely to produce stronger winds and higher extreme wave heights.
