WTF? Friday

Today is worthy of two WTF? posts. Al Gore wins a peace prize for making a movie about global warming. An interesting example of "peacemaking", since that is what the Nobel peace prize was intended to honor. Or maybe it's "piecemaking", as in piece-of-crap making.

I think the whole world has lost it's mind over this global warming issue. Nothing has been proven scientifically. Scientists have only issued a "consensus", which basically means "we're pretty sure". Where else does any scientist get way with "pretty sure"? These are the same scientists that were predicting thirty years ago the disasters soon to be brought about by man-made global cooling. If all it takes is thirty years for a trend to completely reverse, then we've got nothing to worry about.

We also have all unconsciously accepted the premise that the current climate is ideal. Who's to say? Maybe we're all better off if the climate is 5 degrees warmer. Nobody knows. Just like no one can tell me with any certainty if it's going to be sunny next Tuesday.
