Gotta love this Rush drivel. Barton is the same.

From his bashing of Romney about AGW…

Really?

This last year has seen massive predicted droughts in Texas, China and Australia. It has seen massive storms and floods in predicted patterns. It saw a winter pattern shifted as predicted. It is shaping up to be the hottest on record - after last year’s hottest on record and it is only June.

Yet brainwashed drones believe ridiculous liars like Rush rather than looking at facts that are currently hitting millions of people (in America alone) over the head.

Global warming is definitely real, but singling out the last two years of data is a bad way to support it, in my humble opinion. Two hot years can very well be an anomaly, as could two colder years. The evidence in support of global warming is the general trend over decades (along with a plethora of evidence from other avenues of inquiry).

Just saying, one has to constantly check one’s own tendency to cherrypick evidence, even when (in fact, ESPECIALLY when) it supports an accurate model.
