“Brainwashing Our Children”
April 15th, 2008 by Wiley CodyAs I mentioned before, global warming is not a scientific hypothesis since it can’t be proven or disproven. A convenient side-effect of this reality is that global warming can be used to explain any evidence after the fact. Lots of hurricanes? Global warming. Not many hurricanes? Global warming. Convenient political platform.
Of course, the unprovable nature of global warming also relegates it to the realm of things held true by faith (another of my axioms). There’s a name for when a faith is preached in a classroom as if it were scientific fact. Brainwashing.
William Gray, the well-known Colorado State University hurricane forecaster, routinely uses the annual National Hurricane Conference as a platform to bash global warming. In a statement to Florida Today, Gray argued that the scientific consensus on global warming is bogus — and “a mild form of McCarthyism has developed toward those scientists who do not agree” that mankind is in danger.
“We are also brainwashing our children on the warming topic. We have no better example than Al Gore’s alarmists and inaccurate movie which is being shown in our schools and being hawked by warming activists with little or no meteorological-climate background,” Gray wrote.
