Ignorance is bliss

"The rest of the show was kind of predictable and I nearly wretched at having Al Gore’s propaganda piece shoved down my throat all night, not only by winning Best Documentary but also Best Song AND another segment just dedicated to letting Gore talk about global warming! Look, the best scientists that money can buy today can barely even tell us if it’s going to rain tomorrow, don’t give me this line of crap about how they can somehow magically predict climate changes for the next hundred years, because they can’t. "

Now I may not know a lot about the science of Global Warming, but I can say that this is truly an apples and oranges comparison.

Imagine you had a bunch of friends who went to the dog track every day, and they watched the dogs race, and they bet on the dogs. They won slightly more then they lost, but they were not exactly world beaters, but hey, they had fun with it.

Now let's say they, and countless others, noticed something odd, that over the course of the year, the dogs were going faster then they had the year before, and the year before that. That they started putting their data together and were baffled by it, but they kept at it, and well after years more of research, they had in fact come to the inescapable fact that the dogs were running faster. They called this "Greyhound Speeding" and brought their info to people.

To which somebody replied.

"Look, you idiots can't even tell me who's going to win in the 6th race, and now you expect me to believe that you know for a fact that a dog 100 years from now will run faster then a dog now? You CAN'T know that."

Closes the case doesn't it?
