Nice little poem.

Jody (20:42:36) :
I’ve been reading this blog and the posts that follow for awhile now so I want to get this straight. I can’t rely/trust on NASA, MIT, National Science Foundation or any other academic body for any scientific information?
I don’t know who to believe? These are the scientist’s that have given me GPS technology, the Internet, digital TV, cell phones, nuclear energy, and numerous other innovations but now they are all scheming to take my money through taxation of CO2. Not only are the scientists in the US in on the scheme but it’s a global conspiracy.

I find it bewildering too, but this article by a reputable but sidelined climate scientist may help to understand what has happened

[quote]“The US federal government has spent 80 billion US dollars on climate research on the assumption that human caused rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a problem. Despite this, no one has yet found even a shred of objective scientific evidence that humans are causing damaging global climate change.

The so called evidence emanates from a vociferous group in the scientific community who, for a variety of reasons, are set on promoting predetermined conclusions not supported by empirical data or real-world observations. The science they rely on is all about the number of scientists who agree with them and claims of consensus to suppress quality control in climate research. “Taking a vote is a risky way to discover scientific truth”, warned climatologist Reid Bryson.[/quote]
….
[quote]“The IPCC has been complicit in the scaremongering and exaggeration. The IPCC is a governmental institution that selectively accepts and rejects critical comments from expert reviewers of its reports, as my climate science colleagues and I can prove, having been part of the IPPC-managed review process. Surprisingly, given the great costs and social impacts of emissions reducing policies, there is no government “ombudsman” or any means to “audit” what is going on in the IPCC, or to tell if all the extravagantly funded research has been a good investment. The IPCC has been a major driver of global warming hysteria, which has overshadowed concern for real global-scale problems. “[/quote]

Many other commentators have described how the issue has been hijacked, scientific caveats ignored and dissenters sidelined.

“… and this science moment is brought to you by Mattel, makers of the HOT new game called The Greenhouse Gamble. Spin the wheel. If you land on red you win millions in grant money. But, if you land on blue, oh no, you’re a SKEPTIC and must forfeit all previous winnings.”

or

“MIT scientists discover that watching this colorful wheel rotate in one direction can induce fanciful thought patterns and feelings of euphoria. When turned in the opposite direction, one experiences anxiety and feelings of inadequacy as can be seen in stark contrast in these test subjects”

“You should see what we did with the other tree ring samples!”

or

“Here MIT scientists have made a reconstruction of what the Ezekiel wheel must have looked like.”

and finally

“Johnny, to the left, was clearly not amused after his buddies decided on using the color of his shirt to represent the wedge that had no value.”

I’m not sure which one should be Annette but the guy on the right looks suspiciously like Roy!

As a long time lurker, I want to offer a huge “THANK YOU!” to Anthony Watts, Charles The Moderator, and the oh so many constructive contributors, for providing this most excellent space for rational discussion of the “Global Warming/Climate Change” hypotheses.
