MIT Scientist smacks down FOX global warming "flip-flop" rumor »
Posted By capn_caveman 1 year, 7 months ago in NewsFOX and Friends First host Alisyn Camerota was pumped about a segment that would put another global warming scientist on the FOX side of skeptics and deniers this morning 4/15/08. But her guest, Kerry Emanuel of MIT, promptly burst her bubble and exposed the propaganda in the FOX production.

These kind of stories just reinforce my belief that science either does not really know what is going on, or they aren't being allowed to tell us what's really going on. I mean, what if our whole solar system has changed position in the universe, and that has given rise to events that are completely out of our control. If that were so, why wouldn't they tell us? I mean all this going back and fourth crap. Anyone who was in Michigan this winter knows that there was no global warming there. Is global warming selective? Someone needs to give the world a straight answer.

Really, you're going to bring up the position of the solar system in the universe? Ok, the Sun orbits the center of the galaxy roughly once in 200,000,000 years. We have seen the rapid effects of man-made global warming in the past 30 years or so. That accounts for approximately 0.000015 percent of an orbit. This is not significant at all. Next, the rest of the universe resides WAY too far away to have an impact on the Earth's climate. In short: There is no connection between Earth's recent climate change and it's position in relation to either our galaxy or the rest of the universe. There is not a shred of evidence for this.
And as far as the temperature in Michigan, that is called weather. Do not confuse weather with global climate.

From the article:
"They've developed a new technique for inferring hurricane activity from global climate data, which doesn't itself contain hurricanes. "
Translation: We rewrote everything because we were wrong last time.
"When applied to the past twenty-five years data, it is a startling confirmation of his findings of three years ago; hurricane power has increased by about 50% over the last thirty years."
Translation: We created a question to fit the answer, and will do the same again when we are shown to be wrong again. So I can get more government money to do studies vice getting a real job.

A scientist is not a priest or a political pundit.
It is no shame for them to say 'My old model was wrong, here is a better one'.
The Foxes assummed he was rejecting the overall hypothosis that CO2 created global warming which causes climate change.
They were wrong.
