The slick trick behind global frauding

In Stalin's Russia any dissenter from the Party Line was guilty. Innocence had to be proved. It's a standard tyrant's trick. During the reign of Oliver Cromwell in England, witchhunters did not have to prove that their victims were guilty. The accused witches had to prove their innocence. That's what Al Gore has done to science: He and his friends have flipped innocence and guilt from normal science to Stalinist science.

In Al Gore's America, any "global warming denier" is guilty until proven innocent. He or she must have been bought off by Big Oil. Skeptics, no matter how well-qualified, must prove the negative about really silly alarmist hogwash. And whenever some prediction is falsified, the warm mongers have an explanation: it's just a temporary glitch in the data. Oh, yes, we were wrong about 1998, but just wait till 2050! The excuses are endless... [snip]

Putting the burden of proof on the doubters is a perversion of normal, healthy science. In normal science the burden of proof is on the proposer. Albert Einstein had to prove in his historic 1905 paper that there was a fundamental flaw in classical physics. The distinctive predictions of Relativity Theory had to be verified for decades afterwards. Some are still being tested today.

To answer the biggest con trick in the history of science, you just have to address a single question to True Believers: What's your evidence for this barmy idea? And the answer is: There are no facts robust enough, consistent enough, and verified enough to support the mass hysteria... [snip]

The last ten years have seen global cooling, not warming. Look it up. Why? Nobody really knows, but Mr. Sun is the logical suspect. But don't get caught in the trap of proving the negative. In normal, healthy science, the skeptics ask questions.

It is the proponents who carry the burden of proof.
