A great deal of global warming hysteria is superstition parading as science
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a tough year for the high priests of global warming in America.
First the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) had to
correct its earlier claim that the hottest year on record in the contiguous
United States had been 1998, which seemed to prove that global warming was on
the march. It was actually 1934. Then it turned out the world's oceans have
been growing steadily cooler, not hotter, since 2003. Meanwhile, the winter
of 2007 was the coldest in the US in decades after Al Gore warned us that we
were about to see 'the end of winter as we know it.'

In the May issue of Nature evidence about falling global temperatures forced
German climatologists to conclude that the transformation of our planet into
a permanent sauna is taking a decade-long hiatus, at least. Then this month
came former greenhouse gas alarmist David Evans's article in the Australian,
stating that since 1999 evidence has been accumulating that man-made carbon
emissions can't be the cause of global warming. By now that evidence, Evans
said, has become 'pretty conclusive.'

Yet believers in man-made global warming demand more and more money to combat
'climate change,' and still more drastic changes in our economic output and
life-style. The reason is that precisely that they are believers, not
scientists. No amount of empirical evidence will overturn what has become not
a scientific theory but a form of religion.
