Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr. Research Group News
Dr Pielke’s blog is a wonderful resource for those who are interested in actual Climate science. It it not geared toward the population who would prefer the mantra method of climate science, which as methods go can be more the most effective use of time, as it allows one to become “learned” regarding climate science in front of the TV and not have to read a bunch of boring science junk.
Of course the mantra method makes it easy to dismiss actual scientific debate, because anyone who does not chant the mantra is obviously a heretic unbeliever and is spouting blasphemy. Interesting how a “belief structure” that is loosely based in science has become a virtual religion where the true believers disdain and belittle those who question the basis of their beliefs (stop me when you see the analog). The belittling, of unbelievers, must of course be done at the chant/mantra level, because a true believer should never have a deeper understanding of the issue. Questioning the articles of faith could lead to agnosticism, and eventual banishment from the fold….
I find the 8/19/2008 post regarding ocean temps very interesting.
And the Hurricane study that points out that the climate has always been changing.
Ohhhh, and this one too (especially the points and links under item 2).
