Take skeptics more seriously  | The Dallas Morning News

Scientifically literate climate skeptics cannot be ordered to believe. Unless the global warming community seriously undertakes convincing them using scientific methodology that they believe in, more conflict is in store.

Global warming's weak links | CFACT

A chain, we all know, is only as strong as its weakest link. We must have extraordinary confidence in the integrity of every link before we trust it. Has the process been sound? Has the globe warmed? Are we humans to blame? Will any warming continue? Would the impacts be terrible? Would the proposed solutions do any meaningful good? Will the benefits exceed the costs? Let any link in this chain of questions fail, and the treaty cannot be justified. It would be all pain, no gain and should be scrapped.

The cap-and-trade issue is another case in point. In a recent poll, it ranked dead last among issues that Americans cared about or thought their government should be involved with. In fact, considering the horrendous winter practically the entire country struggled through, its alleged purpose — to stop or slow down global warming — seems patently ludicrous to most of us. Add to that the credibility meltdown among global-warming advocates recently, and you hardly have a 600 pound gorilla in the road that you can’t ignore for a while, at least until we get our economic house in order and try to accumulate some truly objective scientific data on the subject.

But don’t tell Obama and Co. anything of the sort; they claim the issue is already “settled science” and are determined to make a top priority of something that the vast majority of Americans consider a total nonissue.
