Science is never settled

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change continues to forecast global warming due to anthropogenic CO2, and every IPCC forecast has been inaccurate. The IPCC is known to change and invent data. Remember Climategate? They call it “adjusting” the data. They also choose to ignore cloud cover because it’s too complicated.

Recently, Finnish scientists did a study that includes cloud cover and found low clouds caused by cosmic rays effect climate. They published a paper titled “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change.” They show that human activity can account for no more than 0.01°C change.

Independently, at the same time Japanese researchers published a paper (“Intensified East Asian winter monsoon during the last geomagnetic reversal translation”) explaining how the changes in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field affect solar radiation that affects cloud formation, which in turn affects global temperatures.

Everyone knows the Earth’s climate is changing. The only question is why. The climate alarmists expect us to believe it is all anthropogenic and the science is settled. They should know science is never settled.

Isaac Newton developed his law of gravity about 1686. This was not only not settled, but modified by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity in 1916.

Ancient man believed the world was flat. Around 240 BC Eratosthenes believed the Earth was spherical and calculated its circumference. Today we know it is not a true sphere but distorted.

When the alarmists say science is settled it means they have no valid argument.
