When pigs fly they shade the earth slowing global warming

From 1993 until 2003 923 scientific journal articles were published on various aspects of global warming impact, process, pace, sources, etc.  100% of them confirmed global warming is real, it is here, it's getting hotter, it's killing stuff already and we are speeding it along.  These 923 articles are all based on scientific studies and data gathered from around the globe, by scientist from dozens of nations and governments, and from dozens of scientific fields related to our problem.  All the articles are written by people educated in the subject they write of, all the articles were peer reviewed, meaning you submit the article, and months if not years go by while others try to find something wrong with it which tosses it out.  100% agreed on the general trend.  Some differ on specifics but all agree it's real, it is now. Yet the deniers claim thousands of scientist object.

The myth has grown, and a deniers speakers industry has developed pretending the 923 papers were cherry picked, that in fact there were over 11,000 scientific papers and most showed no global warming.  After much hounding the deniers promoting this relented there were 43 papers which objected.  So, the scientist looked into it.  None of these papers were written by scientist working in the field they have a degree in, in fact most were not scientist at all but economist, hired writers who did no original research, and a smattering of TV weathermen, none as in zero were in peer reviewed journals.  100% of these 43 were in advertising vehicle commercial, local, or trade magazines, "oil drillers weekly"or some such things which will publish anything submitted for free if it reads well.

Still, we hear it is a debate, the ignorant news media think so, the GOP thinks so, but there is no debate among the people doing this research and writing these papers, they are all convinced by their observations and confident in their projections.  There is no debate in the Pentagon or the CIA, both say it will cause more failed states, migrations, wars.  Amazingly, because of this years storms fires and heat, the polls show the public is inching back, a few are giving up on the myth that high school drop outs, business majors and factory owners know more about what is happening than people who have studied it for years.  Hey, when pigs fly........

  1. And the current outside air temperature in Wichita, Kansas in 105 degrees.

    Here is my thing - We heard Pat Robertson say that the cracks in the Washington Monument were a message from God about gay marriage and then Michelle Bachmann tells us that Irene was God's
    message to cut spending - what are you to believe?
    Some say that God controls everyting and all that happens is his divine will. We just had a loved Scoutmaster killed by a deranged maniac up in Bunker Hill - that was God's plan. Fot a child to be born to a family with birth defects?
    Again? His plan?
    Well. the zealots claim that - then is not global warming God's plan also?
    Why is the thumper far right so opposed to global warming? Is it their deep hatred of education and then the questions that education produces? I mean, who did Cain go to live with after he killed Able? And, if it all started with a tribe of Hebrews in Israel - How do you explain all of these fucking Chinese?

  2. Sarge,
    It got to 108 at 6pm. Well the Chinese might be a problem to explain away, but when logic hits the fan just shrug and say, he works in mysterious ways. Look, I actually know full well why the christianistas and the tea baggers oppose the science. It's tribal. The nation is divided into tribes now, gated communities, mega churches and so on, and anything Obama's tribe believes in must be rejected no matter what.
