I'm watching half a dozen robins hopping around my front yard. Robins should NOT be here in late November. Also I should be going through two cups of sunflower seed a day at my birdfeeder, based on the last twenty years of experience. For the last month one cup a week has been plenty. Also the black capped chickadees should be swarming the feeder. They vanished completely six weeks ago. <br />I know this a shapshot anecdotal thing, but I sure don't like it. <br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-48634985311923686642009-11-22T01:26:40.709-08:002009-11-22T01:26:40.709-08:00Yay!

Crosschecking is the way to verify results. But if you are willing to fudge results to stampede the group into a conclusion based on false data, then all you are doing is perpetrating fraud. I admit giggling when I read this on Kerplunk earlier today. After having disclaimers on "Inconvient Truth" this is the most amusing thing I have read all day.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-87675933688523186302009-11-21T18:23:18.683-08:002009-11-21T18:23:18.683-08:00Your certainty regarding global warming puts you a...Your certainty regarding global warming puts you at the same level of religious zealotry as the "Young Earth" proponents and the others you mentioned.<br /><br />You're no better than they are.

Are they to be disregarded?"<br /><br />Yes. <br /><br />There are "scientists" who are proponents of Intelligent Design and The Flat Earth Theory. There are "skeptics" who are proponents of "noetic sciences." All are to be disregarded as well. They have chosen the path of non-science. They cannot get legitimate research grants nor can they get published in legitimate scientific journals. <br /><br />They are not missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-53388020938844193922009-11-21T15:09:16.079-08:002009-11-21T15:09:16.079-08:00What about the scientists who don't agree with...What about the scientists who don't agree with the global warming hysteria?

This is a testament to the good science education the students have had at Rio."<br /><br />One can only hope that an analysis of the errant 13% would reveal a lack of exposure to science at Rio. And clearly there are those who have been taught science but have not learned science. <br /><br />And, of course, some are convinced that political conviction can bend the arc of scientific reality. <br /><br />I do enjoy the Piltdown Man reference. Creationists like to trumpet that hoax whenever possible. Of course, it was no Evolution-denier that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man#Exposure_of_the_hoax" rel="nofollow">exposed that fraud</a>; it was actual scientists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-60486182106817362212009-11-21T13:26:12.759-08:002009-11-21T13:26:12.759-08:00Meanwhile, the 2009 January-October world temperat...Meanwhile, the 2009 January-October world temperature is tied with 2007 as the fifth warmest on record.<br /><br />Hummm, actual data keeps getting in the way of global cooling. <br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-61871230399343285332009-11-21T13:09:29.997-08:002009-11-21T13:09:29.997-08:00Can you think of a more perfect example of the suc...Can you think of a more perfect example of the success of propaganda?
