I came across an interesting challenge that fits right into the basic drift of these posts. One, Dr. Christopher Keating has put up a $10,000 challenge to the climate science distrusting/demeaning crowd to show off their own science. This should be interesting.
You see, it seems to me the Republican/Libertarian types stick to science-by-rhetoric while relying on a small group of fringe scientists who produce science-in-a-vacuum. It's stuff that needs to be published by in-house faux publications because it can't withstand the scrutiny of objective active experts.
This has created a wonderful bubble of perception, circular thinking every way one looks. Twist and distort numbers, or leave out important factors, no problem, so long as the desired attack is achieved. A paper get's rejected by the establishment, well that's just because it's all a conspiracy out there {never mind the quality of said paper}. Makes absolute sense… from the inside.
Now Dr. Keating has challenged this crowd to put up some of "their science" to see how it stands up. I'll let Dr. Keating take it from here:
The $10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge!
http://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.com/p/1000-global-warming-skeptic-challenge.html
I have heard global warming skeptics make all sorts of statements about how the science doesn't support claims of man-made climate change. I have found all of those statements to be empty and without any kind of supporting evidence. I have, in turn, stated that it is not possible for the skeptics to prove their claims.
And, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
I am announcing the start of the $10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge.
The rules are easy:
1. I will award $10,000 of my own money to anyone that can prove, via the scientific method, that man-made global climate change is not occurring;
2. There is no entry fee;
3. You must be 18 years old or older to enter;
4. Entries do not have to be original, they only need to be first;
5. I am the final judge of all entries but will provide my comments on why any entry fails to prove the point.
That's it!
