re: #348 Sharmuta

So you’re dismissing the data because of one person’s interpretations.

Would you do that with biology?

I’m not dismissing the data. I’m dismissing the hysteria.

The hysteria derives not from the data, but from unfounded and unproven PROJECTIONS from the data which are are extremely dubious.

Right now, as we speak, are we living on an infernally hot planet? No.
Right now, as we speak, have the sea levels risen to any noticeable degree? No.

The “crisis” is entirely based on drawing the projection lines out into the future for hundreds of years. And yet there is very little rationale for those projections — other than scientific faddism.

The “data” I’m assessing is this: that John Holdren and the other original global warming projectionists once made very similar projections of population trends and/or the effects of population trends, and they all proved to be wrong. I didn’t doubt the population stats they had in the ’60s and ’70s, and I don’t doubt the temperature stats we have now. What I doubt is the reliability of the projections based on those stats, considering that the people doing the projection have been so consistently wrong in the past.
