Science Heresy
It took me a long time to get through James Hogan’s “Kicking the Sacred Cow” (also available here in eBook format)–not because the subject matter was all that complicated (Hogan know how to write about “hard science” for the literate non-scientist) but because the citations of one example after another after another of the priests of science dogma crucifying honest inquiry with lies, damned lies and peer reviewed lies. All part of the religion of Recieved “Science”.
Made my head nearly explode from the rise in my blood pressure…
And so it goes with Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Let me suggest a moderately long article by Freeman Dyson as an intro to the kind of thinking that I once thought of as typical of the scientific mind engaging in speculation but which–alas!–is little seen in such areas as a discussion of AGW.
My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. Of course, they say, I have no degree in meteorology and I am therefore not qualified to speak. But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models.
Do read, HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. And point the next AGW pinhead you meet to it, too.
