Global warming advocates like to pretend they are open-minded, all about science. But let someone else's science get in the way of their "consensus," and you find out how little they really believe in science.
Just ask Professor Valentina Zharkova of Britain's Northumbria University. She and a team of researchers conducted a study on sunspots, which are known to have a strong effect on solar radiation and thus on the Earth's climate.
What they found was remarkable: solar activity, based on models that closely fit past trends, looks to be headed for a sharp downward turn. Indeed, activity could decline to levels not seen since the so-called "Little Ice Age," an unusually cold period that stretched across the Northern Hemisphere and lasted from roughly 1650 to 1850.
As such, a study of this kind, you might think, would be incredibly important. But instead of being greeted with scientific questions or open curiosity about her group's study, Zharkova's team was met with a most unscientific hostility.
"Some of them were welcoming and discussing," she said in an interview with The Global Warming Policy Forum. "But some of them were quite — I would say — pushy."
And some went well beyond just "pushy."
"They were trying to actually silence us," said Zharkova. "Some of them contacted the Royal Astronomical Society, demanding, behind our back, that they withdraw our news release."
. . . . . . . .
Anyone who thinks this type of behavior is "science" is wrong. It's not even right to call it "religion," as some have, using that term as a pejorative. In fact, truly religious people actually question their faith. Only global warming's legions of true believers don't.
