My previous Lindzen post was inspired by a video a commenter shared over at a blog that fancies itself "Real Science" - it's put together by someone who goes by "stevengoddard" but who really isn't Steven Goddard. {But, it sure sounds great if you're going to try and impress people.}
In any event, this exchange does such a good job of underscoring the point I'm making, namely that the "Global Warming Science Denial Community" is dependent on rhetoric over science ~ as opposed to a constructive rational dialogue with learning as the main objective ~
that I've decided to share it.
Couple days ago I went looking for an update on the recent heat wave in Western USA, and I came across a blog by a character who goes by StevenGoddard, it's titled: Oklahoma Heatwave Update (July 2, 2013)
which reports that McAlester, OK had a cold record broken, in fact, by a whopping 6° below the 1995 record. He does this in the spirit of ridiculing the standing Heat Wave that settled over the West this past weekend. As if a few cold temperatures on the other side of that "unusually extreme standing wave pattern in the jet stream" negates the records caused by yet another freak weather system.
