Awesome! So it is fixing itself now. Nothing to worry about then.
A couple of years ago they said something to the effect of “Global Warming is much worse than we thought because it isn’t happening as quickly we predicted”.
I am not going to bother finding the scource because evidence doesn’t matter to them anyway.
No one can prove to me that my God doesn’t exist, and no one can prove to them theirs’ doesn’t either. They are both religions, but I will take Jehovah over Algore, or Gaia for that matter.

Apparently it can’t make people who know nothing about science stop convincing themselves that they do.

It also can’t seem to make its proponents learn to debate science instead of using ad hominem to attack skeptics.

“The college idealists who fill the ranks of the environmental movement seem willing to do absolutely anything to save the biosphere, except take science courses and learn something about it.”

Whereas the hate mail and death threats that actual climate scientists receive on a daily basis are the height of rhetorical sophistication.
Hint: that word, it doesn’t mean what you think it means (ad hominem). Pointing out that there’s nary a “skeptic” (quotes used since an actual skeptic would note that the outside the mainstream claim is the nonsensical claim that AGW is some sort of conspiracy perpetrated by scientists who are from around the world, have never met, and have left no paper trail) who isn’t also a shill for the carbon emitting industry isn’t an ad hominem.

There you go, fellers, guess he showed you.
To be perfectly fair, to an apparatchik, making sure an opponent’s articles never get published, and trying to get his credentials pulled, is also, technically, not “ad hominem.”
The great breakthrough of the Internet Age, then, is that you can be part of an international conspiracy without actually meeting or leaving a paper trail. For that, you need the UN. Oh yeah, I went there.
Some people without blogs also don’t believe in the Venona Decrypt. Because those guys, y’know, never met.

Yeah, because “paper trail” in modern times never includes things like email. Duhhh…
I’m glad you brought up the Internet age though–one of its perks is that if you have something useful to say and offer, and feel like you’ve made a compelling breakthrough that would make a Nobel-winning up-ending of a huge body of scientific thought…there’s precious little the apparatchiks in question could do to stop you.
The phrase “silence is deafening” comes to mind.
Non scientists telling scientists they’re wrong about science never ceases to amuse. Be sure to tell your next airline pilot he’s doing it wrong. The world would be better off if he takes your advice.

The fact that they admit there is a “consensus” that there is AGW is indicative there are plenty of scientists who disagree.
Since “disinsterested” scientists disagree on the matter. I will default to common sense. If it was warmer in the Middle Ages than it is now, or colder during the little ice age than it is now–you know, before Halliburton or Goldmann-Sachs, then modern man hasn’t pushed us out of the range of natural possibility.
When we are at an all time high or low I will consider the alternative.

Well, disparage my scientific credentials as you wish, me just being an engineer, but we have a group of people who so proudly proclaim themselves as “scientists”, yet so thoroughly fail to live up to the ideal implied by the word.
Seriously, have you seen the model they actually use? It’s not even spherical! Talk about flat earthers… It would be entertaining if it didn’t threaten our way of life and well being.
