A repoast

 The more you can poke holes in any hypothesis, the more shitty it is. 

   So, you can poke multiple holes in the theory of evolution, and while not as easy, also do the same for the theory of gravity. 

 This does not mean that the base concepts are wrong, but that our understanding is weak, likely not fully accurate, and badly in need of improvement or at least, direct testing. 

Anthropogenic Global Warming is a soap bubble of a hypothesis that absolutely does not yet meet the stringent definition of a theory. 

 Doesn't mean it's wrong, again, but sure as shit doesn't mean it's right, when virtually no aspect of it stands up to examination, and claimed core proofs which can't be tested... which means there's faith involved. 

 Now, being summat religious, I've got faith and I ain't afraid to use it. But that's me. 

    Do you? Proponents of AGW certainly are exercising some degree of faith. For my part, I'm still withholding judgement on the whole thing but I'm open to either possibility.  I've got no beef with people who want to operate on a precautionary principle, so long as the human cost, or cost to humans, is low. So far, with carbon taxes, EPA permitting and Pournelle's Iron Law ruling over the moneychangers involved, it's been ruinously harmful. 

 Separately, the religious aspect of AGW:  it's insane and retarded, a cult of faith-based performative science where the priests are the most prolific profiteers of the movement... which is corruption at its' finest.

  Anyhow, please enjoy the following Historical sermons from the Church of Environmental Scientoady:
