Except that the planet in question might as well be Mars, Triton, Pluto, Jupiter... Someone should slap a carbon tax on all those gaz-guzzling outer space-polluting UFOs :)
NASA scientists have observed that temperatures on Mars have increased by about 0.5°C since the 1970s, which is similar to the warming on Earth over the same period. Moreover, the polar caps on Mars have also been melting. Good grief, too many SUVs on Mars too! Those irresponsible Martians! (Is that a racist statement? Will some Human Rights Commission be on my case for “hating” Martians?)
But wait, it gets worse!
According to NASA, the temperature on Triton, one of Neptune’s moons, increased dramatically between 1989 and 1998. Temperatures rose by 5% over nine years. To put that into perspective, such an increase would mean a whopping 12°C increase on Earth! Could somebody please mail them some CFL bulbs! Does The Home Depot ship to Triton?
A few years ago, we also learned that Pluto was warming up dramatically even as it moves farther from the Sun on its elliptical orbit.
And yet the defenders of the man-made climate change myth are not willing to give up. They'll cheat, they'll ignore or try to silence their opponents, but they'll never admit that their theory has no scientific basis and that the science is by no means settled:
Go here to see the two pictures. Mark Shea reminds us that this open letter was signed by 250 mostly non-climate scientists. When the letter about 31,000 scientists who objected to Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is brought up there usually a lot of nitpicking about how many of them are not actually climate scientists. Yet they do exactly the same thing in reverse.
And they snif about the difference between climate and weather and how one isolated weather event does not indicate a shift in climate in this letter. (Dumb deniers.) Yet, every time there is a warm weather event the media shouts "Climate Change!"
For months after Climategate last November all we heard was that the IPCC only relies on peer-reviewed papers for its Report. The chairman Mr. Pachauri assured us that anything other than peer-reviewed papers is "thrown in the garbage." Now a citizen's audit conducted by 40 people from 12 countries has analyzed all 7000 pages and found that 5,600 (nearly 30%) of all citations in the Nobel prize winning report were from non-peer reviewed sources. Did Pachauri actually think that no one would check up on him? Especially after he was defensive, derisive and haughty about it? And, why is he still in charge of the IPCC again?
Look, all I want is real science and honest debate. I don't want dogma or opinion. And I don't want lies and deceit. It seems to me that if the evidence were as clear cut as they say it is, they wouldn't have to resort to deception, there would not be so many skeptical scientists and nobody would talk about "believing in climate change." Do you ever hear them talk about "believing" in gravity or relativity or other established scientific theories? No, and there is a good reason for that.
Well, there is such thing as "doublethink". That will help everyone believe in what the eco-crooks want us to believe, won't it?
