The Science That Dare Not Speak Its Name

Global Warming, a thousand blessings on Your Name, has finally reached the level that makes all scientific inquiry into its existence, and reasons for its existence, more than unnecessary: it is unhelpful. The idea that Global Warming, may Your Name be glorified, might not be due to man’s sin is no longer to be questioned. This does not mean, however, that Global Warming, live forever, can be said to be due to Original Sin. That kind of sin is a foolish concept that smacks of religion, and as modern people, we rely on the human capacity to understand science, rather than be guided by the unquestioning faith required by superstition.

We are talking here of the sin of white, male Europeans. They are the culprits who have put their comfort and amusement above the health of the planet. And they are the ones who continue to ask for scientific verification of Global Warming, all honor to Thy Holy Name.

WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS! Just look at the recent post on Apple’s website: (http://www.apple.com/pro/sessions/globalchange/)

“Over the past several decades, satellite data have revealed the gradual shrinkage of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean. This image shows the extent of ice in September, 1979 (yellow line), compared to its extent in September, 2005. This is a reduction of more than 20 percent.”

Since 1979 the ocean levels increased, . . . why, I can’t tell you how much the levels have risen! Thousands, perhaps millions of have been affected. I’m sure of it. Just as sure as I am that a glass full of ice will overflow when the ice melts. Right?
