Thoughts and activities of the Webb family

And another…

It occurs to me that I have the same complaint about the global warming pushers as I do those who flatly declare that Darwin has been proven correct. It is one thing to laugh at crackpots. It is another to actively seek the censorship of those who disagree with you. That smells of propaganda, not science.

Here is yet another voice pointing out how human-caused climate change seems to not fit the facts as well as other theories. Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, nails it when he points this out:

So one awkward question you can ask, when you’re forking out those extra taxes for climate change, is “Why is east Antarctica getting colder?” It makes no sense at all if carbon dioxide is driving global warming. While you’re at it, you might inquire whether Gordon Brown [Chancellor of the Exchequer of the UK] will give you a refund if it’s confirmed that global warming has stopped. The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999.

At what point does this science become un-settled?
