Human sacrifices to global warming god

Back in 1500, we learn from a Princeton professor, the Aztecs figured the climate debate was over, and that if you wanted rain and sunshine and other such blessings, it was simple enough what you had to do -- sacrifice 20,000 lives a year to the right gods.

In the year 2009, it's an equally sure thing in the minds of some that carbon in the atmosphere is going to fry us unless we put the welfare of millions on the line, and here is the latest on President Obama's plan -- it could cost industry almost $2 trillion over an eight-year period.

That hefty sum to be paid out to a cap-and-trade carbon tax would snatch money from the pockets of consumers far more than rising oil prices did, hinder economic growth and in still other ways generate human misery, and all in the name of what?

Computer models that have yet to get anything right, that's what.

"Over the past 10 years there has been no global warming, and in fact a slight cooling," ... "This is not at all what was predicted by the IPCC models,"

physicist William Happer recently told a Senate committee, referring to the computer conclusions of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. [snip]

But what if these skeptics are wrong? If there is a possibility of error, some argue, we should err on the side of safety -- we should have those carbon taxes -- and that might be true if a carbon tax was not itself a powerful peril with the potential to cause the death of millions in the 3rd world.

This will be inexcusable given that it's now clear to anyone willing to look with open eyes that we are putting global-warming garbage into computers, getting garbage out of them and that some are then treating that garbage like a god...
