I think I may have posted this article before but it makes a nice introduction to an interesting web site made up of both sides of the debate and called Climate Debate Daily. I vote with the skeptics because so much of the warming debate seems emotional and related to anti-capitalist politics. I just don’t think they are reliable, especially after the “Hockey Stick ” fiasco. Anyway, it looks useful and I have added it to my blogroll.
Those are some good links. I followed one to this quote:
–[in the global warming advocate’s world] The authority of science is relied on not for factual enlightenment but as ideological foundation for authoritarian policy prescriptions which might otherwise be difficult to implement.–
Some people chortle that politics trump everything. I like to think scientific truth wins out in the end.
The authoritarian temptation of the left is always there to make me skeptical of these “crises.” The only concern is whether the Canadians, who are trying to get the funding for the study of solar energy fluctuations, will be successful.
