Al Bore has turned science into a joke...every day now we are seeing how much of a buffoon Al Bore is as a so called climatologist, and his so called predictions of Doom are also a JOKE...thank goodness for us...:laugh2:
By James Lewis
Heads I win; Tails you lose. That's the guiding principle of Algorithm.
When the story of our time is written -- as soon as future historians can stop laughing -- Al Gore will be Exhibit #1 for the unprecedented nuttiness of our politics.
In Florida in 2000, Al Gore just knew he was destined to win the presidency, just like Mom and Dad told him all those years ago. The Big Media were actually convinced that Gore had won before the votes came in, based on their usual dubious polls. It was only a question of how many recounts it would take to prove what they already knew, and how many rules had to be busted for Mr. Gore to assume his rightful place in history.
In Bush v Gore the US Supreme Court finally decided enough was enough, by a vote of 7-2. You don't get to replay the game until you win. The Supremes and George W. Bush have been ferociously hated for that ever since by our friends on the Left, who apparently never play card games. If you're allowed to deal the deck over and over again until you win, you're not playing poker, but some sort of childish game of self-delusion.
Which is not a bad description of Al Gore's new incarnation as the Steaming Green Messiah of Doom. "Steaming" not because it's hot in Oslo, where he received his Nobel Peace Prize, but because Al himself generates a whole lot more heat than light. If Mr. Gore's fury and rage could be turned into useful energy it would do much to wipe out his ample carbon footprint.
Algorism means "I'm always right, no matter how the facts turn out."
The trouble is that Algorism has now invaded science. This is very bad. Everybody knows that the conclusion of Global Doom is taken for granted by good and decent people everywhere -- why else did the Bali circus happen, other than to divide up the loot that is bound to follow? If there were no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow the UN wouldn't be interested.
It's just that the scientific proof isn't quite there yet.
Science Magazine just published another Global Doom Scenario. This one predicts for the nth time that Australia's Great Barrier Reef is really, really doomed for sure this time. Where have we heard this before? There are now more than twenty Global Warming models -- we never hear about the ones that don't predict Global Doom, because Science magazine isn't interested. Those results appear in less august journals. (See this or this for examples.)
Like any ecosystem, coral reefs evolve and adapt, which is how they have survived for hundreds of millions of years. Coral organisms got started during the 'Cambrian explosion' of half a billion years ago -- that's 500,000,000 years. Corals have gone through Ice Ages and warming periods over and over again during that half billion years. Micro-organisms like corals can adapt to changing temperatures with amazing speed, because they reproduce so quickly. They are not "fragile." They are immensely adaptable. Otherwise they wouldn't be here.
