Lazar:
Now you’re ready to make a little more progress. You believe “anyone who devotes their life to increasing human knowledge is a hero.” Albert Einstein said, “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” Past heroes of knowledge include aryan race theorists, phrenologists and T.D. Lysenko. I don’t believe in scientists. I believe in the superiority of the scientific method to discover truths about the physical world. Not because everything that scientists say about the world is true, but because science is, over time, self-correcting so long as scientists respect the process of science and separate political or religious (e.g., environmentalism) enthusiasms and pressures. The earth’s climate is by far the most complex phenomenon science has yet tried to tackle from a modeling perspective(says Freeman Dyson). Climate science itself is in its infancy. The greatest risk to that science today is the toxic contamination of progressive politics, symbolized by that grotesque mountebank Al Gore and others who, in unguarded moments, have been caught admitting that it’s perfectly alright to exaggerate (i.e., falsify) scientific findings to produce a favorable political climate to advance progressive legislation on the environment. These people may be heroes of knowledge to you, but they are enemies of understanding. Hence models whose alarmist predictions depend on preposterous assumptions regarding underlying parameters. Hence climate scientists and their politicized groupies resorting to ad hominem attacks on real scientists engaged in the real scientific work of testing hypotheses who discover inconvenient truths. Hence hysteria and propagandistic indoctrination of children masquerading as knowledge.

Any polar bear hugging politician who still buys into the global warming hoax will be booted out of office in the next election cycle.

Why aren’t more Constitution-defending patriots pointing out the following concerning any US commitment to the Copenhagen Treaty? Given that the federal Constitution is silent about climate issues, the 10th Amendment automatically reserves government power to regulate such issues to the states, not the Oval Office and the Senate. So regardless of Obama’s power to negotiate treaties, he cannot use that power as a back door to exercise constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers, forcing US citizens to comply with foreign laws dealing with climate issues in this case.

But if you don’t believe me then perhaps you’ll believe a constitutional expert.

“Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” –Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1800. http://www.constitution.org/tj/tj-mpp.htm

Also, consider Jefferson’s remedy concerning constitutionally clueless socialist pawns like Obama who unthinkingly exercise constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.

“Where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.” –Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. http://tinyurl.com/oozoo

Hub,

Thank you for that (albeit convoluted and tortured) admission that I was right.

For noting that a prediction of a future state is not an observation of a future state, and noting that the sky is not falling; you get a gold star.

You're not a superhero

You want a Nobel or something? Well you can have Obama's.

and neither are they

In my eyes anyone who devotes their life to increasing human knowledge is a hero.

meaning for a life that would otherwise seem boring

Life is not boring. I'm surrounded by an awesome, beautiful, fascinating universe to study. How could I be bored?

You should not submit to that temptation.

Why thank you.

There is nothing unique about climate as an issue.

Don't be daft. Every 'issue' is unique.

in order to create an artificial crisis

Now you're being silly, and boring.
