Where's Kipling when we need him?
We're getting this theme from a number of sources this week....... Concisely stated by a Bloomberg announcer just now.
"Scientists have been trying to figure out why global temperature is sagging for 20 years while the amount of CO2 has soared."
So they're building epicycles on top of epicycles on top of epicycles. Evil KKKarbon turns out to be a remarkably intelligent Maxwell's Demon, capable of selecting just the right wind currents, moving just the right set of bacteria or clouds or water molecules in a highly organized and amazingly pre-planned way to create every single bad phenomenon in the world, and simultaneously covering up his actions with an even more amazingly organized campaign of countereffects.
The problem with the quoted statement is in the first word. If you cling to a theory when all the evidence is running against it, you are NOT A SCIENTIST. You are a corrupt venal shill for super-rich aristocratic monsters.
Scientists have EXACTLY ONE RESPONSE when a pet theory fails. Abandon the theory. Live without theories until a new one gradually develops FROM ACTUAL FUCKING FACTS. If you do anything else you are NOT A SCIENTIST.
