Wizbanged

Posted by Bill

Paul from Wizbang writes that post on global warming. The preface:

Yikes, Bill goes wildly off course in his update here. Not a big deal. He gets a whole heap of facts wrong but, I'm just not in the mood to even read the whole thing much less reply. So be it. One of the things he gets wrong is that he says I was going to make a global warming post... I offered to if he wanted, I never said I was going to... but what the heck...

(Emphasis mine)

Well who can argue with that?

I may have said that I was going to read any post on global warming that Paul put up, "but, I'm just not in the mood to even read the whole thing much less reply."

After all, let's be frank: reading is a bear. And numbers give me Petit Mal seizures.

Sure wish it were spring.

Then you could go outside and smell the roses. :)

Paul's post at WizBang is a (much) shorter version of the underplot of Michael Chrichton's "State of Fear," without the narrative. For the numeral-averse, enjoy the story and learn a little as you go. For the number freaks, the back of the book contains all the numbers and graphs your heart could desire, together with citations so you can go look them up yourself.

I was kidding about the numbers.

Man... it is a rare person who can write about a topic from a viewpoint that you already agree with and leave you thinking you might be wrong to agree with them. That has to be the worst debunking of the conflatedglobalwarmingozonelayercrisis ever. Paul's hysterical reaction to comments is what really killed me, though.

Well said Bill...

I'm as much of a GW skeptic as the next guy, but I thought that post on Wizbang was really embarrassing, and the comments worse. Hopefully Paul will chill out. I'd hate to see a usually very good blog fall by the wayside.

Ever read the Skeptical Environmentalist? That's just about the best factbook on GW, and the state of the world in general, that there is.
