The irony is that he, and people of his beliefs (and they are beliefs, pure and simple) routinely do this, and seem not to realise that they're doing it. Or perhaps they do realise it but say it anyway.<br /><br />The whole meme is like an extract from "The Emperor's New Clothes" - ignore the real facts, follow the fashion.MostlyHarmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058940884892720332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-34125987517677080972012-11-21T04:53:03.592-08:002012-11-21T04:53:03.592-08:00Hello Mr. Caruba,thanks for another great article....Hello Mr. Caruba,thanks for another great article.<br /> Over on LinkedIn there is a poll started by BP oil "What renewable energy do you think is most important to our energy future".<br />The comments have the flavor of Face book.

Even your blocked Mr Davis. This is what happens when you concede to the Left - they take and take and take, and soon enough people give up as it's easier to just cave. Why is it that conservatives don't believe in climate change but liberals do? Why is it that conservatives can see the fiscal problems with the USA but liberals can't? I wish I knew why there is this distinct break between the two groups. One day you'll have a split country.

The irony of the suggestion that Mr Caruba should 'keep himself intellectually honest' is breathtaking. Asserting that Heartland is driven to its conclusions by ideology only undermines Davis' point further, in the sheer absence of any evidence that NIPCC Reports' conclusions are wrong or outright fabrications.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364598915818543463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-30221325824970640212012-11-20T16:45:47.883-08:002012-11-20T16:45:47.883-08:00@Matthew.

I linked to that data when I posted my short and simple analysis:<br /><br /><a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2012/11/hurricanetropical-storm-strengths-1851.html" rel="nofollow">Hurricanes/Tropical Storms, 1851 to 2010</a><br /><br />What the American people need to begin to really understand is that Obama and the Left (under whose banner the global warming alarmists promulgate their incompetent hysteria) are lying in virtually everything they are telling the public, in order to "transform" America in their perverse, and actually unworkable, image of Utopia. I was surprised, as a scientist, when I found the climate scientists are incompetent, every one of them, but the politicians are just as incompetent -- and worse, evil -- in their determination to abuse their power in service to that and other incompetent science fields. They are literally like a team of runaway horses, that cannot and will not bring themselves under control for an actual common good. And the American electorate, divided into fearful constituencies at odds with the very idea of a united country, failed to exercise good judgment once again, to replace Obama and his party with competent, honest leaders.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-16956128769472824132012-11-20T13:43:06.813-08:002012-11-20T13:43:06.813-08:00Caruba, in your last column you broke down and adm...Caruba, in your last column you broke down and admitted that many of the orthodoxies you had previously accepted about the world might be mistaken. It was really great and healthy to see. I would suggest that perhaps you could also take a fresh look at the evidence for anthropogenic climate change. You frequently repeat that the planet is in a recent cooling cycle, here stating it has been going on for "sixteen years." But this is not true. The NOAA notes that 2012 is between the eighth or tenth hottest year on record (depending on which metric you are using). You can see for yourself here, and look at all their data and methods: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/climate-monitoring/<br /><br />And consider the source of the analysis: why would you trust the Heartland Institute (which you frequently cite), which has a vested interest in heavily promoting an ideological viewpoint, over such organizations as the NOAA, which only have a vested interest in being as accurate as possible?<br /><br />At this time of reconsideration, please make sure that you're keeping yourself intellectually honest by reading through the data and arguments of the NOAA and IPCC - not just those organizations that agree with you, like Heartland.ADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211720060888169877noreply@blogger.com
