Einstein and Global Warming

While reading Paul Johnson’s Modern Times, an account of how the world changed from the 1920′s through the 1990′s, which begins with the impact of Einstein’s theories, a question sprang up in my energy-drink-soaked mind: What would Einstein think of Man-made Global Warming?

And in order to grasp the answer, it’s important to note that as a clerk in a patent office, while formulating his theory of relativity, Einstein had a particular scientific goal: Prove himself wrong.

Here was an attitude utterly different from the dogmatism of Marx, Freud, Adler, and even more so that of their followers. Einstein was looking for crucial experiments whose agreement with his predictions would by no means establish his theory; while a disagreement, as he was the first to stress, would show his theory to be untenable. This, (Paul Johnson) felt, was the truly scientific attitude. Modern Times, Paul Johnson

You see, this is how a real scientist works; without bias, without a hope for an outcome but a hope to prove oneself wrong. Copy and paste that mindset of the greatest physicist with those in charge of the research on Global Warming and you would find the two incomparable.

The climate change specialists and leading researchers have one goal in mind: Sway public opinion.

From the Wall Street Journal: “Phil Jones, the director of the East Anglia climate center, suggested to climate scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University that skeptics’ research was unwelcome: We “will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!” Neither man could be reached for comment Sunday. Wall Street Journal, November 2009.

Here’s the problem, if there is some private company testing the effects of radiated rabbit poop, their scientific mindset is none of my concern, however if this mindset, the one opposite of Einstein, is the same mindset guiding and directing government taxation and legislation, then we have a huge problem.  It’s not science when you’re trying to convince the masses of your faith.  That’s preaching.  Let’s save that for the preachers.

Week In Review, Winter Olympic Edition

We learned some things this week:

Obama is an agnostic, when it comes to taking your money.

Pelosi assumed the drinks were on you.  And the appalling tax-paid luxury.

We also learned that elitists use multi-million dollar telepromters, and scoff at writing notes on your hands.

And about Senator Tom Harkin’s assault on democracy, and what he stands to gain from it.

And, just for extra, there’s also this: Britain’s VAT tax, which currently stands at 17 percent, is not enough: so they’re bumping it up to 20 percent.

Some random thoughts:

The Winter Olympic’s opening ceremony had its moments.  The 2D/3D whales really impressed members of my house.  The quasi-Scottish tap dancers: not so much.

NBA All Star Week-end is competing with its own big freeze in the DFW Metroplex.  Dallas is in a bit of its own Winter Olympics: with people competing to get out of their houses, find groceries, and avoid frost

Your Taxes Paid For This:Pelosi

It’s Friday morning.  Thinking about what you’re going to spend for Valentine’s Day?  Let’s also think about what you’ve spent for House Speaker Pelosi:

From the Washington Times Editorial, click on text below to go to page:

The charges include $101,000 in “in-flight services” that reportedly included Maker’s Mark, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam whiskeys, Beefeater and Bombay Sapphire gin, Courvoisier cognac and other fancy food and liquor.

There’s no words to describe how frustrating this is.  Congress votes themselves a raise in 2008, don’t forget.  When you hear a progressive Regressive talk about emotional pleas for the “have-nots”, don’t forget that this is what they’re after: more Beefeater a mile high.

I didn’t know the drinks are on us.

Hits from around the web:

American Thinker has some good print on the Agnostic: “It’s getting crowded under the bus.”

C. Edmund Right’s letter to the president: “And when you say that small business is clamoring for you to pass health care, I know that you have taken total leave of your senses.”

Myers at Big Journalism tells us not to throw out all our baby bottles and sippy cups:” Create a monster to be blamed so as to control the populace.”
