<<<<  How consensus science differs from the the facts of experimental science  (the only true scientific process).   

Update:  Note to readership:  if you click on the tag or hyperlink below,  "global warming hoax,"  you will have access to the 28 articles written onto this blog,  over the years.  Some of the debate/comments are revealing.  All of the posted information is sourced in established science.  

Dr. Christy is an outlier on what the vast majority of his colleagues consider to be a matter of consensus: that global warming is both settled science and a dire threat. He regards it as neither. Not that the earth is not heating up. It is, he says, and carbon dioxide spewed from power plants, automobiles and other sources is at least partly responsible.

But in speeches, congressional testimony and peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, he argues that predictions of future warming have been greatly overstated and that humans have weathered warmer stretches without perishing. Dr. Christy’s willingness to publicize his views, often strongly, has also hurt his standing among scientists who tend to be suspicious of those with high profiles. His frequent appearances on Capitol Hill have almost always been at the request of Republican legislators opposed to addressing climate change.

“I detest words like ‘contrarian’ and ‘denier,’ ” he said. “I’m a data-driven climate scientist. Every time I hear that phrase, ‘The science is settled,’ I say I can easily demonstrate that that is false, because this is the climate — right here. The science is not settled.”

Dr. Christy was pointing to a chart comparing seven computer projections of global atmospheric temperatures based on measurements taken by satellites and weather balloons. The projections traced a sharp upward slope; the actual measurements, however, ticked up only slightly.

Such charts — there are others, sometimes less dramatic but more or less accepted by the large majority of climate scientists — are the essence of the divide between that group on one side and Dr. Christy and a handful of other respected scientists on the other.

“Almost anyone would say the temperature rise seen over the last 35 years is less than the latest round of models suggests should have happened,” said Carl Mears, the senior research scientist at Remote Sensing Systems, a California firm that analyzes satellite climate readings.

After notes:  
You may not know this,  but the 9th rule in the book,  Rules for Radicals,  reads:  "The threat is usually more terrifying that the thing itself"  (p 129 in Alinsky's book, republished in 1989 as a Vintage Book Edition)   . . . .   never more true than in the case of environmental crisis  (the hunger bomb, acid rain, the mini-ice age, the ozone crisis,  pollution by auto (no longer a problem and etc.),  over the years.  Understand that "global warming"  is a more serious problem  (but not critical),  north of the Equator and,  then,  only in given regions.  Remember:  it ain't global if it ain't global.
