Opus 2014-135: The Argument Is Never Over

The Global Warming fanatics are still at it.  They claim that we are all doomed if they are not given control of our lives.  They ignore all of the data that does not agree with their lust for power.  Their mantra is “Don’t confuse me with the facts.” 

Blaise Pascal had the same problem with the people of his day. 

“When we are accustomed to use bad reasons for proving natural effects, we are not willing to receive good reasons when they are discovered.” Pensées, Kindle Highlight Loc. 759-60

Science is the constant discovery of new information.  Every time you prove a hypothesis it just opens up new avenues of question.  Old proofs are always open to reevaluation.  At least that is how it is supposed to be.  Climate science according to Al Gore and his ilk can pick and choose what to evaluate, set up computer models to produce the results they want, make money from their mandates and demonize anyone who tries to point out the obvious errors.  It gives science a bad name.

So take the point that Pascal is trying to make and listen to all the good reasons why you might be wrong.  The truth never hurts unless you have a lot of money riding on deceit.
