The Church of Global Warming ~ By Patrice Lewis

Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Patrice Lewis Posted: December 05, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 I'm sure you've all heard about the scandal coming out of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, in which some bozos cooked the raw data on temperatures from around the world when those data didn't reflect their global-warming agenda. These guys apparently weren't hamstrung by the Scientific Method, which has the audacity to suggest that the process of establishing a theory (such as global warming) be "objective to reduce biased interpretations of the results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called 'full disclosure,' also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established." Unencumbered by such quaint scientific protocol, these guys knew the raw data they obtained were an inconvenient truth, so they "lost" them. These "scientists" were determined to prove global warming by faith alone, not by any credible methodology or empirical evidence. To those of us who have long been skeptical about man's influence on global temperatures, the timing of these leaked e-mails just ahead of the Copenhagen climate summit couldn't be better. But wait, something's wrong. The damning evidence hasn't raised a peep of alarm from the global-warming cultists. Professor Trevor Davies of the East Anglia CRU called the hacked e-mails "the latest example of a campaign intended 'to distract from reasoned debate' about global climate change ahead of the Copenhagen summit." Reasoned debate. Ha ha, that's a good one. It's well-documented that any scientist who argues against global warming is ridiculed and discredited. Global warming has gone beyond the realm of science into the mysticism of religion. It can only be believed on faith, not facts. No one dares question the Church of Global Warming. Reasoned debate has no place in climate change discussions for the simple reason that its believers aren't scientists – they're religious converts who think altering the data and silencing critics is fine if it advances the cause.
