The Myth of GlowBall Warming

Nigel Calder, the former editor of the New Scientist has weighed in on the topic.

"When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works."

The article goes on to examine several other theories that explain the current weather trends. Mr. Calder points out that the recent UN study fails to distinguish it's finding with any of the contrary theories. Like I said earlier, don't confuse me with facts, my mind is already made up!

Then we have the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, calling the IPCC report a "myth". He said in a recent interview;
Global warming is a myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is not fair to refer to the U.N. panel. IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment. Also, it's an undignified slapstick that people don't wait for the full report in May 2007 but instead respond, in such a serious way, to the summary for policymakers where all the "but's" and "if's" are scratched, removed, and replaced by oversimplified theses.

I report, YOU decide.
