Weasely Derb
I'd been wondering why Derbyshire was so consistently silent on the Gaia scam, since he so often presents himself as an exponent of good science and good logic.
Apparently many others had been wondering the same thing, because Derb finally felt impelled to write on the subject.
And he shows his true colors by weaseling and waffling.
Sorry, Derb, anyone who loves science and logic, anyone who likes to observe and analyze data, has seen through this hoax for at least a decade. The CO2 correlation has been blazingly wrong from the first moment it was proposed, and all efforts to support it have been criminally dishonest. Alternate hypotheses haven't been proved yet, but we can be 100.00% sure that the carbon connection is false.
Now I know for 100.00% certain what I had previously suspected: Derb is not a scientist but a member of the Scientific Elite. Like Dawkins, like Lawrence Krauss, like every science journalist, his base motivation is raw blood-soaked anti-Christian bigotry. He follows science because science offers a way to poke Christians in the eye and hear them scream.
