The World Thru My Eyes - I speak my mind and man does it like to talk.

I remember the stories about kids who would claim to be sick to avoid going to school. The movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off comes to mind. Kids would use hot water or electric heaters to raise the thermometer temp to fake a fever and such.

Well, it seems that faking temperatures is not limited to kids looking for ways to miss school. It would seem that apart from all the BS data used by those claiming their was Global Warming or Climate Change; now we have the problem of external influence on sensors that measure temperatures. It would seem that most sensors around the US are being exposed to heat sources that screw up the accuracy of the sensors. It's like trying to figure out how cold it is outside while standing next to a bonfire.

Now I can why weathermen (and women) can't predict the weather. At this point I can't tell if stupidity is actually stronger than the ambition to prove Global Warming. How in the world does this society elect our leaders in every industry? Is honesty, truth and actually doing your job no longer a necesity or a requirement to hold such an important position in this or any other country? Does anyone tell the truth anymore? Does anyone check to make sure things are done the right way? Does anyone even care anymore? I never would have thought that Science was related more to fiction than it was to getting to the truth or facts.

"We lie, we cheat, we steal", that was the theme song for the Brother Guerreros from the World Wrestling Federation. Sounds like something many Gov't (including the US Govt) and industry leaders had adopted as their modo.

I disagree.  The SyFy station deals with Science Fiction.  There is a lot of fiction with AGW, but not much science.

Disney would be better.  They deal with fantasy.

Sort of related: I took the wife and daughter to the aquarium today and we decided to see the 3D IMAX showing of "Under the Sea", an hour long documentary, produced by Warner Bros. and narrated by Jim Carey. The movie was great, but toward the middle and end they started laying it on a bit thick about how man's disregard for the atmosphere is affecting the oceans, and some of the little creatures might be at risk. In the same breath, it also mentioned how millions of years ago when the last Ice Age receded and the water rose (over 400 feet according to the movie), how the coral grew. Amazing! And without any help from man!

I had to chuckle to myself. They are really trying to get people to blame themselves for warming. I guess it's easy to credit nature prior to man's rise, but now we (by we I mean they) are so arrogant to believe we can greatly influence (short of total nuclear war) the environment on that level. I'm glad humans were not around during the many die-offs and extinctions that have occurred over the eons. Someone would have blamed man for those too. Don't worry though your money will make it all better. Now, back to your subtle brainwashing.

I guess you haven't read much history. Please tell me when in history these things were common? Human history is all about greed, lies, and pushing whatever agenda you believe will satisfy your particular priorities. Our technology may have advanced but we, as a species, have not. And no, people aren't any smarter now than they were 10,000 years ago.
