Grouchiness aside, that’s Denny Wilson’s shtick, why is this, as the weather people have assured me, anecdotal and the blazing heat of last summer evidence of the world coming to an end? Could it be that this doesn’t fit the politically correct view of the pundits and Pope Algore’s minions and the heat did? The answer my friends is written in the wind. That cold wind blowing over that cold snow.
Occam’s Razor states:
one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
The principle states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed. This principle is often called the principle of parsimony. It underlies all scientific modelling and theory building. It admonishes us to choose from a set of otherwise equivalent models of a given phenomenon the simplest one.
In other words, the simple theory that the earth warms and cools in direct proportion to the energy output of the sun makes more sense than the complex theory that says the release of carbon dioxide from man’s machines into the atmosphere is the sole cause.
The “simple” theory explains the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warming Period and all those glaciers that have scrapped everything flat from time to time in earth’s history. The “complex” theory does not.
Think about that the next time some blathering idiot tells you that Global Warming is a settled scientific fact.
