Today in the Arizona Republic, I read an article that said that warming in the west is greater than the warming over the globe. They cherry picked a very short period of time, 2003-2007. They also try to make the assumption that this very narrow period of time is representative of a larger period of time. Their justification for calling the years 2003-2007, a period of warming, is because it is above the historical average of the last 100 years.

If you take 1998 as the high year, it has cooled since then over 1.5 degrees Celsius. If you take the year 2002 as the high year, the temperature has not increased at all between 2002 and 2008. They had to eliminate any high years to make any possible increase show up. That is junk science at its best. They are making the facts fit the hypothesis. The way it is supposed to work is that you are supposed to develop a hypothesis. You then run tests to determine if that hypothesis is correct. If the hypothesis is not correct, you go back and tweak it until it is correct. These scientists decided that they wanted to show global warming and made the facts fit their hypothesis.

Unfortunately for believers in global warming, that is how they have to practice science. People that do not care about global warming or do not believe in global warming, they can just let the facts do the talking. Believers in global warming have to lie about what they find in order to “prove” that global warming is true. Non-believers do not have to lie about anything to disprove global warming. This study is a perfect example of believers working overtime to “prove” global warming, while ignoring the facts that are staring them in the face. Scientists are supposed to include all facts in their hypothesis. Global warming believers have to ignore lots of facts in order to make their facts fit the hypothesis.

Global warming people also talk a lot about carbon footprints and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is only 0.003% of the atmosphere. That is such a small amount it cannot have the terrible impacts that global warming believers say that it does. The largest greenhouse gas is water vapor, which we have no control over. That is why they ignore water vapor. There is no way to control water vapor, so they ignore it. Even though water vapor is much higher, global warming believers ignore it. A low water vapor amount in my area of Arizona is around 2-3%. That is about 1000 times more common than carbon dioxide. In my area we sometimes get humidifies in the 40-45% level; that is over 10,000 times more common. You would think that water vapor would be considered more important than carbon dioxide. It is not because it is so variable and so common. If you ignore the water vapor, you are ignoring the largest greenhouse gas and a potential source of the world’s climate.

Since the global warming believers ignore water vapor, they do not include it in their computer models. Then it is little wonder that the computer models are ALWAYS wildly wrong when it comes to predictions. They are even wrong in the short term, where it should be relatively easy to be close. But, they built into the computer model that the temperature is going to go up, so that is what the computer model tells them the temperature will do. When the temperature goes down, the experts on global warming are all amazed. Any third grade student could tell them that if you assume the temperature will go up, you have a 50% chance of being right.

One other thing that the global warming believers are ignoring is this winter. They want us all to consider the past few warm winters where the Arctic ice melted. They want us to ignore this winter where the Arctic ice is now thicker and more wide spread than at any time in the last 50 years. Global warming people do not want to be bothered with the facts. They want to massage the facts into whatever they want them to be. They want us all to ignore all of the evidence that piles up that refutes their stupid global warming theory. Then, they call us names because we say, look at the facts. I cannot understand people who refuse to look at facts. I have always been very fact oriented.

This study that came out to “prove” that global warming is worse here in the west is a clumsy attempt to make the facts fit the hypothesis. Anyone who knows anything will see through the falsehoods. Unfortunately, so many people will only read the headline and not look at the way they massage the facts to fit their hypothesis.
