A truism known to all who gained an education in scientific fields states "If it’s settled, it’s not science." The answer to that among the cognesenti appears to be that the scientific method (which has resulted in an unbelievable increase in human knowledge and increased quality of life) is itself false. The shame is that the Luddites, the courts, large swaths of Congress, and the media are in league to further the foolishness.

They should make Gore give back his Nobel as well as every last cent he’s swindled from the more gullibile among us.

No no no a thousand times no! If we save the gullible from themselves, what incentive will they have to stop being gullible? Besides – they will probably just give their money to Rev. Wright or some other fraud that comes along. You can lead them to knowledge, but you cannot make them think.

Yes, I know, Mwalimu. My particular favorite is being lectured about how I don’t understand the ‘reality’ of alternative energy sources when I have spent my career keeping the lights on.

I am waiting for the global warming cultists who posted on this blog a while back to return and argue again that weather does not matter, only "climate". The debate reminded me of the infamous "the narrative was right but the facts were wrong" meme during the Duke rape hoax.

Gaius, you cannot argue with global warming cultists by using facts and data. Faith always trumps reason with the Church of Global Warming.
