Gravity is Bringing Me Down
| December 10, 2009 | Posted by Barry Arrington under Intelligent Design |
Al Gore in Slate responding to climategate:
“The physical relationship between CO2 molecules and the atmosphere and the trapping of heat is as well-established as gravity, for God’s sakes. It’s not some mystery.…”
Now where have I heard the “as well established as gravity” mantra before? Hmm. It’ll come to me in a moment.

My objections have been clearly stated in each post.
The hockey stick phenomena should be the main thrust of the debate. Because the truth of its premise is the basis for all the debate in terms of potential crisis. If in fact there was a medieval warming then the current temperatures are not anomalies presaging global problems. Essentially there may be lots of time to act if needed and there should be no rush to anything.
Second, the best policies are far different from what is currently advocated. One has to wonder why such bad policies are advocated. It does not take anyone with half a brain to figure that out. It involves money not results. Why aren’t people protesting that. I find that interesting.
So far, no one I have seen has been able to obviate this logic which is not mine but others who seem to have their heads screwed on right. When the anarchist at Copenhagen are arguing for something, it immediately says to me, this is a political event and not a science or humanitarian event. The average person hasn’t a clue about the essence of this debate and when I explained it to a couple friends in the last couple days they were amazed.

I have been following this debate since 2001. The more I understand, the more complicated it seems (ID is a doddle compared to AGW), and my opinion still wavers. I am impressed that you managed to understand so much in just two weeks that you are now certain about what is important, who is right, and the motivations of those who are wrong.
“I am impressed that you managed to understand so much in just two weeks that you are now certain about what is important, who is right, and the motivations of those who are wrong.”
I have been following it for several years without knowing the details and following who is for it. That has always been the revealing part of the debate. When you get inveterate liars such as the Green Parties, Al Gore and Barach Obama, you have a good idea that it is probably nonsense. I just didn’t know why till the last few days. But my instincts which have been honed by watching these phonies over the years and how they operate is enough to tell one that something is wrong. It is nice to see one’s instincts validated.
