Comments On “Defending Climate Science” In The January 31 2012 Issue Of EOS | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

The use of the term “defend” is an odd use when applied to science. The scientific method requires that hypotheses be tested to see if they can be refuted.

This is yet another example of adocacy masking as science.

But a new study shows that global warming is not the only cause of swelling seas. Much comes from "water mining" – the pumping of vast amounts of groundwater from beneath the earth, mainly to irrigate crops. This inevitably ends up in the oceans after it evaporates from farmland and comes down as rain.
