Reply to: Compare and contrast - Scientists are always right all the time, never question

Anyways, I dont think we are talking about scientists. We are talking about climate scientists, and not even all of those.

We are talking about a group of people who rely on models and statistical analysis instead of field work and measurements, who rely on the old boy network instead of peer review, who rely on propoganda instead of free thinking, who try to bully and browbeat instead of listening, and who believe the most important thing is to feel rather than know.

hang on just a minute. I may not be a holocaust denier, but can I at least be akin to a child abuser for flying across the Atlantic ? please

no

[EternalOptimist]

Science is never 'settled'.

No you are not akin to holocaust deniers. I wouldn't equate a difference of opinion on the causes of climate variations to denying genocide.

Brilliant!

Win win.

Perhaps they'll just flip-flop back and forth to fit the data / weather / climate as they see fit.

It's all CO2 innit. Makes it snow, not snow, hot, then cold, then hot, rain then drought, and sometimes it doesn't do anything is all stays the same.

ARC - Anthropogenic Random Climate.

Save the world from a randomly changing climate, that can't be predicted or controlled!

God you really are very thick indeed, aren't you?
BTW have you immunised your children yet? There are some dissenting voices about child immunization you know.

Science moves on. If scientists had all the answers they'd stop.

And can anyone question any of this ongoing contradiction, or is the science "settled" and we are all akin to holocaust deniers?

But then ten years or so later it started snowing all over the world. A lot of snow, and so statistically speaking it was now snowing a lot more, so they are predicting a very hot world all covered in snow.

Did you like my pictures of submarines bobbing about in open water at the north pole in the days before global warming made the ice too thick?

In other words, your science is worth and tells us nothing.

Global warming does not mean that the whole planet is warming uniformly, how could it? Science moves on, our understanding now is better than it was when the press reports from the best part of a decade ago appeared. Get used to it.

So you (scientists) were completely and absolutely 100% wrong less than 10 years ago, but today, with the complete polar opposite view and "predicitions" you are 100% right?

Or are you saying you didn't have a clue then and we can put no faith in your "predictions" now?

In other words, your science is worth and tells us nothing.

Likewise,
people keep telling me that it's going to get sunnier over the next 3-6 months. I don't believe a word of it, because when I looked out of the window at 3:00 this morning it was completely pitch black.

there is global warming every day from sunrise to sunset and then a furious start of a mini ice age from sunset to sunrise - every change should cause panic and taxation I guess.

Can anyone suggest a worthwhile alternative for science?

Shaken Chicken Bones..................statistically they can prove/disprove anything
