Global warming concensus wrong

Our friends at Daily Kos report that the global warming models that were believed to be true by most scientists are likely wrong.

The world’s climate experts have long been making some very dire predictions about Global Warming. Because they are predictions, they rely very heavily on computer models.

Many people– especially conservatives– warned about this. They pointed out that models are prone to many errors, and the scientific consensus is not always right.

Other people chose to rely on the scientific consensus. Honesty compels me to admit that I was in this group. We didn’t think think the consensus was the last word, but we did believe it was the best window to the future a non-specialist could look through.

The consensus of climate experts were wrong. Absolutely, verifiably wrong. The computer models were wrong. They simply do not match reality.

It’s almost like the scientists overlooked something, another factor somewhere…

Daily Kos doesn’t mention the Pastafarian theory of Global Warming, but the article is worth reading, anyway: here.

    If only they knew the real reason, the increase in pirates due to pastafarianism couldn’t be predicted by the computers

    They need to introduce pirates into the models.

    Just read the article, we need more pirates, and fast! It’s the opposite of what you’d expect from the opening paragraphs, showing that global warming is going faster than expected.

    I am all for doing my part in reducing greenhouse gases and helping to slow and/or reverse the effects of global warming but lately I have stopped caring because I can not believe Al Gore won the Nobel Prize for An Inconvinient Truth!! I didn’t know they now gave nobel prizes for furthering one’s political agenda. I really loved the parts where he’s on a plane or driving a car, while preaching that we should all do everything we can to reduce our CO2 emissions blah blah blah. I still have no idea what his son’s car accident and the presidential election he lost has to do with Global Warming.

    oh man…i have a joke about George Bush….
    it was told by a french ambassador when he was being interveiwed by an american reporter.
    the reporter (this part is true) asked him about the bad relations between France and America, and the ambassador said, “well in france we have a story about that…the President (bush) was in France and he gave a speech about the relations between France and America. and he was chastising the French for their lack of business skills, and he finished by saying “i mean in France you don’t even have a word for entrepreneur”"
    and you know what the funny part is? the reporter didn’t get the joke…

    don’t think so if that plane crashed i bet they would have exploded..
    but your missing the point. they are saying they ACCIDENTLY loaded them into the plane…
    how in the world can you accidently load six nuclear bombs in a plane?!
    i mean what are they going to do next, “accidently” drop them on some city…

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
