So-called “scientific consensus” on global warming falling apart

Armed with statistics from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Data Center, D’Aleo reported in the 2009 Old Farmer’s Almanac that the U.S. annual mean temperature has fluctuated for decades and has only risen 0.21 degrees since 1930 — which he says is caused by fluctuating solar activity levels and ocean temperatures, not carbon emissions.

Data from the same source shows that during five of the past seven decades, including this one, average U.S. temperatures have gone down. And the almanac predicted that the next year will see a period of cooling.

…

More than 31,000 scientists across the world have signed the Global Warming Petition Project, a declaration started by a group of American scientists that states man’s impact on climate change can’t be reasonably proven.

And as the Earth cools despite their dire warnings, the global warming lunatics are left with this fallacious argument: We know for certain that global warming exists because the Earth is warming and/or cooling.

Essentially, they are arguing that X is the case because Y or the exact opposite of Y.

Wow that’s convenient. In other words…

• We know for certain Al Gore is fat because he weighs a lot, or a little.
• We know for certain Al Gore is a con-artist because he constantly lies, or never lies.
• We know for certain Al Gore’s son is a drug addict (actually we do know that for sure).
• We know for certain Al Gore’s wife is an idiot because she is dumb, or smart.
