The next time you hear some maroon* tell you that science is an objective, neutral, self-correcting project whose only purpose is to conduct a dispassionate search for truth, show them this chart.

Climate-Model-Comparison-1024x921

95% of the models are wrong. It would be one thing if 50% came out predicting warmer than actual and 50% came out predicting cooler than actual. But what does it say when over 95% of the models are BOTH  wrong and wrong in predicting warmer than actual?  That was a rhetorical question.

Usual liberal response to facts like this: ” Shut up you officious climate denier! And give me your money.”

Say what you want about “science.”  The fact remains that science is conducted by scientists, and scientists are human.  As humans they are not immune to group think.  Perhaps they are even especially susceptible to it; there is evidence for that proposition.  Nor are they immune to seeking their own financial best interests, and long ago they tripped to the fact that the gov’mint will give them money if they continue to churn out alarmist computer models.

Trying to make science fitting a narrative – hmmm… I thought only Creationists did that. If only they’d realize that Global Warming is just allegory… (or is it Al-Gore-y?)Heartlander
