I suppose they are teaching the scientific method still in school, but I guess they just do not teach it in journalistic schools. Why would I say that? Because of Global Warming, or lack thereof.

Using the scientific method, you have a theory from which you derive hypotheses. You test your hypothesis through observations (often by means of an experiment). The observation either supports or disproves your hypothesis. At some point, if a confluence of observations and experiments disprove your hypotheses, then you must consider that your theory is wrong. Wiki gives a very good synopsis of the Scientific Method, including the quote, “Belief can alter observations; those with a particular belief will often see things as reinforcing their belief, even if they do not.” Read the article below and see if you do not come away thinking, as I do, that the scientists are taking their own negative observations and using them to reinforce their belief in global warming.

And I love this quote by Einstein, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” Einstein was a real scientist (not a politician), and a statement like this says that he could accept that his theories could be wrong if the observations did not support them.

So, here is another chink the armor of the theory of anthropomorphic global warming. Another experiment where the observations just do not fit. The World’s oceans have not warmed up over the last five years, according to NASA scientists that are running some very sophisticated tests. In fact, they say that the oceans have cooled slightly during that time.

At some point, there may come a day of reckoning when the media looks back and realizes that a group of scientists proposed a theory that was based on bad math and not supported by observations, but that it because a political expediency allowing politicians, celebrities, governments, and businesses to use this so called crisis to their own advantages. Unfortunately, the press will not likely hold their own selves accountable.

Of course, many people with limited background in sciences and mathematics have already made up their minds, which is clearly evident when you read statements like this, “Personally, it seems to me that science has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that human activity increases global warming.” Do you think they may change their opinion after reading the above article? My theory of human behavior says that it is not likely.
