Statisticians reject global cooling

Once again. Why is the climate not supposed to change?

I'm glad the last ice age warmed up and melted.

He seems to be saying that the trends identified by the statisticians are invalid and

that we can only trust "real" climate scientists, as if collecting measurement data and

performing statistical data analysis is not something they do.

If your mechanic tells you your timing belt is worn and needs replacement, are you filled with joy that you finally broken it in?

The numbers do not lie. One has to be a real dumbazz to not notice the actual short-term weather trends and then have the idiocy to conclude its a climate phenomenon.

The theory has to fit the numbers, not the other way around. If the assumptions built into the current theory prove true, then the theory holds. If the assumptions do not play out as expected, then it is time to find a new theory. In the end, it is still all a ####### shoot. One of the fundemental rules of Probability Theory, is that previous results do not bias future results in a purely random system. The more assumptions built into a theory, the more random the eventual results will be.

My argument is based more on the process, rather than the actual theories. Gotta go to work.

The misconception is that the theory applies to this particular set of numbers. The retards doing most of that mis-application are the ones that don't have a clue as to what climate consists of (what the climate shift models are stating) and what the weather patterns say in the short term. Plus the fact that statisticians have enough knowledge to identify outlying points in the data, that the naysayers are counting as 'part of the trend.' Not very smart of some of them.

HAL, you are my favorite killer computer. You just left the Lone Ranger's argument for dead. Even Tonto can't resuscitate it.

Go back to school. We are having an intelligent discussion here.

Exactly. Steve needs to get back up on that turnip truck.

For a moment I also thought that. But luckily I know that Steven isn't a flat-earther or a nuisance like that smoking monkey.

Give him time. I pray for him every Sunday.

I merely pray that more people in this country stop being so dam stooopid when it comes to science.

Bill isn't stupid....he just doesn't trust the bodies of scientists and their consensus on Global Warming. His distrust is so great that he's willing to speculate that it's all a political ruse to get everyone to ride bicycles.

Now, now. If only science was being taugh in school, instead of tree hugging, the population would be able to grasp such complex concepts.

That seems to be a common mistake. Skepticism is supposed to fuel discovery, not stupidity, nevertheless. I pray he sees this.

I'm with Lone Ranger on this. We should be teaching our children Conspiracy Theory: The Art of being suspicious about everything.

I'm trying to grasp how reasonably intelligent people like Charlie Sheen can buy into Conspiracy Theories. Maybe people like that were ditching class instead of actually learning critical thinking?

How can reasonably intelligent people buy into Jesus and other religious mumbo-jumbo?
