The science is unsettled
The fight over climate change is heating up, reckons Roy Spencer, principal research scientist at the University of Alabama, in an editorial over at Technology, Commerce, Society. Excerpt:
In case you hadn’t noticed, the global warming debate has now escalated from a minor skirmish to an all-out war. … Climate scientists are beginning to question long held assumptions - which is almost always the first step toward a major scientific discovery. So stay tuned.
Did that man just use “science” and “long held ASSUMPTIONS” in the same sentence!!?
Heh. Indeed. Some things are axiomatic, you know. Like hurricanes and hockey sticks. They’re just so there.
It’s okay, he made up for it:
“After all, there isn’t supposed to be any peer-reviewed, published research that denies a global warming Armageddon, right?”
Hmmmmmmmm… He’s also a creationist. Sounds like quite a chap.
