The Earth is Not Warming Afterall?

Scientists have been forced to retract a paper that claimed sea levels were rising due to the effects of global warming, after mistakes were discovered that disputed the results. The study was published in Nature Geoscience and predicted that sea levels would rise by as much as 2.7 feet by the end of the twenty-first century.

However, mistakes in time intervals and inaccurately applied statistics have forced the authors to retract their paper -- the first official retraction ever for the three-year-old journal, notes the Guardian. In an officially published retraction of their paper, the authors acknowledged these mistakes as factors that compromised the results. "We no longer have confidence in our projections for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and for this reason the authors retract the results pertaining to sea-level rise after 1900," wrote authors Mark Siddall, Thomas Stocker and Peter Clark. The fact is, there’s no evidence for that claim

After the firestorm of criticism called Climate-gate, the British government's official Meteorological Office has decided to give its modern climate data a do-over. At a meeting on Monday of about 150 climate scientists in the quiet Turkish seaside resort of Antalya, representatives of the weather office (known in Britain as the Met Office) quietly proposed that the world's climate scientists start all over again.

I don’t know about you, but a scientific organization, made up of scientists, and presumably some of the world’s brightest people...who can’t get the facts right? Who can’t calculate the data correctly? And who screw up the “time intervals” and mess up the “applied statistics?” If we didn’t know better, we’d think they were talking about an eighth grade Remedial Math class.

As so-called “climate change” scientists continue to trot out statements declaring the earth really is warming, that the past month was the warmest January on record, that the past year was the warmest on record, that the past ten years have been the warmest on record, blah, blah, blah. Reminds me of a guy standing shirtless in a blizzard, freezing, but the climate scientist is standing next to him saying, “it really is warm out here, it is the hottest day on record, it’s the warmest January ever...it really is warm out here. Trust me, I’m a scientist.” Ok, sometimes the “experts” really appear very stupid, irrational, and down right dimented, if they expect rational people to believe such nonsense.

If we were talking about anything but one of the environmental “sacred religious” truths, we would declare the whole lot of them nuts and completely ignore them for evermore. But, since this is environmentalism we’re talking about, and “sacred” leftist/liberal ideology, the media is “obligated” to continue the ruse and pretend the all-knowing ones are beyond reproach, and even worthy of Nobel prizes. But the man on the street, the people on the ground, those who actually live in this “environment” know better...they actually know what’s what.
