It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

CO2 causes everything

You knew it and now someone has 'proved' it. Increasing CO2 causes increases in earthquakes and volcanoes.

Add it to the warmlist.

Or maybe not.

Why do some scientists not consider contrary evidence before they seek to publish such nonsense?

Don't they ever ask for and seek to address the contrary evidence as a matter of correct scientific inquiry?

When science is muddied by political ideology connections are sought and found via confirmation bias. Ideologically motivated scientists are quite aware that misinformation can zip around the world ten times before the light of day has a chance to tie its shoes. The alarm can be sounded, fear generated and funds for further study procured before rationality wakes up.

George Orwell said it best: Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. Climate science is loaded with it.


CO2 causes warm winters and it causes cold winters. It causes whatever weather we get. CO2 is magical and proves that contradictions do exist in reality.  

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. George Orwell
