Some, on the other hand, believe in envirofundamentalism.

Actually, only software climate models are telling
us much of anything. Either that or post hoc,
ergo propter hoc. Take your pick. But as Richard
Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric
Science at MIT puts it: software climate models
are like Ouija boards.

Did you determine this scientifically? Or is it just some
foregone conclusion that you hold on faith?

think? I'm reporting you to atheist central, as a
probable religious worm.

Well, empirically, there has been global warming. The
cause is not so easy to be so certain about.

a hypothesis. In the same sense that any other
conjecture you pull out of your ass is a conjecture.

Interesting understanding of the philosophy of science
you have here.

Actually, it seems that envirofundamentalists have
just replaced one for of apocalyptic faith for another
one. It's always the end of the world, and the sinners
(in their SUVs) are to blame. What would Jesus
drive? A Panzer V.
