Investors Business Daily consistently has the best, most devastatingly written editorials in the country. IBD mercilessly and with clinical precision skewers the left's sacred cows with a glee I can relate to. Gotta love their term for adherents of the religion of GlobalWarmingism: "Warm-Mongers."
BEAUTIFUL!!
I hereby put IBD on notice that I am stealing that.
Even better is this from IBD's editorial of 12/22 entitled "The Abiding Faith of Warm-Mongers:"
"Prognosticators who wrote the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, global warming report in 2007 predicted an inevitable, century-long rise in global temperatures of two degrees or more. Only higher temperatures were foreseen. Moderate or even lower temperatures, as we're experiencing now, weren't even listed as a possibility.
Since at least 1998, however, no significant warming trend has been noticeable. Unfortunately, none of the 24 models used by the IPCC views that as possible. They are at odds with reality.
Karl Popper, the late, great philosopher of science, noted that for something to be called scientific, it must be, as he put it, 'falsifiable.' That is, for something to be scientifically true, you must be able to test it to see if it's false. That's what scientific experimentation and observation do. That's the essence of the scientific method.
Unfortunately, the prophets of climate doom violate this idea. No matter what happens, it always confirms their basic premise that the world is getting hotter. The weather turns cold and wet? It's global warming, they say. Weather turns hot? Global warming. No change? Global warming. More hurricanes? Global warming. No hurricanes? You guessed it."
