If it cuts into your afternoon training rides, I'd say you have
misplaced priorities.

The way to think about it is that if you fail the climate scientist
subterfuge, intrigue, and mayhem aptitude test the CIA will take you. Once
you enroll in climate scientist training, you either graduate, or are never
heard from again. Sort of like assassin school in Ankh-Morpork, only
without the training in culture and dancing.

It kind of makes you wonder what a Jedi page thinks of their chosen
profession as their master dabbles in the back side with force. Or not.

It is a cinema classic, regardless of the trivial details. Right up there
with:

Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

At this point, the most important thing is not the correctness of the
physical science, but of the social science. The uncertainty is
vanishing when it comes to the question of whether or not sufficient
(and "important") people give a crap about the more important
questions raised by social science and the implications.

Is there a list to sign for "scientists unconcerned about AGW?"

How about a list for "scientists concerned about retards with
political power?"

"I think a major reason why intellectuals tend to move towards
collectivism is that the collectivist answer is a simple one. If
there’s something wrong, pass a law and do something about it." --
Milton Friedman

"The great differences between the characteristic methods of the
physical sciences and those of the social sciences explain why the
natural scientist who turns to the work of the professional students
of social phenomena so often feels that he has got among a company of
people who habitually commit all the mortal sins which he is most
careful to avoid, and that a science of society conforming to his
standards does not yet exist." -- Hayek, _The Counter-Revolution of
Science, Studies on the Abuse of Reason_

Let's not forget that those here who think of themselves as "Liberals" are
more than willing to support absolutely fascist techniques to get their way.

On TV, Al Gore and Ted Turner have stated that the whole world is going to
die unless we are willing to murder more than half of them. And they
advocate methods of that murder.

He's right. But they all are.

This is why I'm a liberal. That doesn't sound all that fun to me. No,
for me the best in life is a long bike ride on a cold day, followed by
drinking a cold Dos Equis beer while taking a hot shower, a "nap",
followed by a nap, maybe another "nap", etc... Lamentations are not
what I want to hear from my women. That would Interfere with my
napping, not to mention my "napping".

A 40 watt pulse rifle??! That's ridiculous. I use a 100 watt pulse
rifle just to shoot starlings in my cherry trees. Who writes this
crap?

I've never seen "correctness" used as an adjective describing "social
science" before. Interesting concept. I guess the second quote from Salma
Hyek explains that.

The social and economic science of climate change is really very simple, to
avoid making any sacrifices during our lifetimes, most of us are betting
that the really bad effects will occur after we are dead.

You're a liberal, nobody expects you to know anything about weaponry so
it's not surprising you are completely overgunned. Anyway, those were
purple martins, not starlings. Nice going.

Well said. I've been musing- when did "conservative" become synonymous
with "wasteful" and "reckless"? They used to be antonyms. Not any
more...

There's another liberal around here who'd like to borrow the pulse rifle
to shoot some pesky peace doves.

Over gunned... no way! Look at it like this: we have a president
who's the equivalent of a 25 watt bulb. Four times that is just
enough to take out a starling without upsetting the neighbors.
