Perspective
Only 9,098 Of Last 10,500 Years Warmer Than 2010
This is going to go down as the greatest scientific boondoggle of all time, the Piltdown Man of the atmospheric and earth sciences.
That's not to say there's no upside, heavens no: Al Gore made gargantuan sums of money, lots of junior faculty got enough publications to be tenured, tons of taxpayer money got spread around as research grants, folks got to attend oodles of expense-paid scientific conferences in swank locations, programers got nicely paid to optimize poorly specified computer simulations replete with measurement error... The list goes on and on, a sorry banquet if there ever was one.
The Climate Change bandwagon is science at its very finest -- In the same sense that snake handling is religion at its very finest.
