They seem to be very narrowly focused group of people who can't adapt rapidly to new information or even a lot of information when it comes to making long range predictions.

Sci fi writers have a better record for predicting the future.

I don't think sci-fi writers so much predict the fututre as they do shape it. Didn't one of the greatest scientists of all time say "imagination is more important than knowledge"? Of course you might argue then that these Global Warming Alarmists are being pretty important.  ;)

They would probably never actually get around to screwing a new bulb in.  

The group of scientists would first have to study the phenomenon of the light bulb, formuate a hypothesis of why or how it works, study similar phenomena in other environments, test their hypothesis on both a random and a control group, observe the results, draw conclusions from their results, publish a paper and then submit said paper to a peer review board, conduct a series of lectures in various countries to win support for their study and its conclusions, and finally, start a new study to determine what impact said lightbulb would have upon the environment.

Lastly, they would probably, ultimately conclude that the lightbulb was NOT a result of "intelligent design."

Regards, Shuckins


But you missed the real purpose of their scientific inquiry....they would all apply for a grant of 106.8 million dollars to better understand how the lightbulb may be contributing to climate change.

But the Republicans would have given all the money away already in a one time "enterprise zone" tax break to a corporation that contributed to their campaign. And the money would have gone to its rightful place - as bonuses to the executive board and to raise the dividend by a penny.

dos ekk.. I see that you have trouble following....  

We are not talking about polio vacines here.  We are talking about predicting the future.  Scientists have a very poor record of that.  Even something as simple as a polio vacine... they would have a much better chance of inventing it than of predicting when it would happen or.... even if.  

You seem to be saying tho that if they are smart enough to cure polio then they most certainly can predict and understand global climate.

You might just as well as said that since they can't even cure the common cold... they have little chance of predicting the weather for next week.

Following your logic? I think most people do...

You think science and the scientific method are things to be scorned. I really don't think there is any point continuing then...

How could anyone possibly question the rock solid facts and statements made by global warming scientists?
Such as ...."Maybe/maybe not".."Could be/could not be"......"Possibly/possibly not".........."IF"..and my all time favorite....."I have a gut feeling".
So where is the confusion?


:D
