The End Of Global Warming

When public opinion changes, the change is often dramatic. Why? Because the chattering classed don’t want to be caught on the wrong side of history and when they see that the cause they have been espousing is becoming unpopular, they will try to run to the head of the crowd marching in a new direction.

In other words, the people who tell us what to think are deathly afraid of being in the minority. Couple their juvenile fears of being left out of the ”in-crowd” with a truly staggering ignorance of any smattering of science, or even math, and you have people who can be led to believe in virtually anything by anyone.

Which explains their willingness to advocate the death of the planet by global cooling in the 1970s to the death by warming in this decade.

And now we see the beginning of another shift. This time it’s cause by climate scientists who were perfectly willing to take grant money from the government to prove the politically popular anthropomorphic global warming thesis become a little worried that ridiculous charlatans like Al Gore are making claims that make them look ridiculous.

Look, Al Gore may have been a moderately successful politician, but this drop-out from the seminary and law school is making climate science an object of ridicule.

The icing on this particular cake is the indisputable fact that other planets in our solar system are also experiencing rises in temperature. It cannot be claimed by anyone not wearing a tinfoil hat that Mars is warming due to human activity. The literally only thing that the Earth and Mars have in common regarding temperature is the sun. The sun being the cause of global warming and cooling cycles is indisputable and uncontroversial. I know of no one who finds this the least controversial, unless it’s Al Gore mopping his brow showing that the Earth has a fever.

At his point Al Gore is so deeply embedded in his global warming theories that it is impossible to extricate his corpulent ass from that particular pit. Ditto with NASA’s James Hansen. But others see the reality of the “USS Global Warming” hitting an iceberg and the rats are beginning to leave this particular ship.

What I find particularly delicious is that the two groups that almost always jump on an opinion train just before it plunges over the cliff are Liberal clergy and politicians. And just now we have perfect evidence of that particular observation.
