.
actually, two [
fine, three--and yeah i know i'm like a broken record with this shit, but this one pretty much says it all].
first, this one:
I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic.
and then, (literally) the money shot:
If theory and evidence disagree, real scientists scrap the theory. But official climate science ignored [crucial evidence] and instead clung to their carbon dioxide theory — that just happens to keep them in well-paying jobs with lavish research grants, and gives great political power to their government masters.
i know that posting
an article like this has--no matter how credible the source--no more power to sway
noblesavagethe true believers than does waving the long-form certificate under the nose of a birther, but i'm gonna keep plugging away anyway, because it's too important.
why am i like a dog with a bone on this issue, you ask? here--i'll let dr. evans tell you:
Official climate science, which is funded and directed entirely by government, promotes a theory that is based on a guess about moist air that is now a known falsehood. Governments gleefully accept their advice, because the only ways to curb emissions are to impose taxes and extend government control over all energy use. And to curb emissions on a world scale might even lead to world government — how exciting for the political class!
read it--it near-perfectly condenses all the reams of contrarian data i've read over the years into a few riveting paragraphs.
of course, if you're one of the many out there who, in these troubled and uncertain times, take comfort in the fact that our national and global leaders are standing poised and ready to guide us forward into our brave new world with the same selfless integrity and skill that's brought us to this point, i can only say (a) get your head examined; and (b) why the hell are you reading this blog?
