Andrew Klavan: A New Definition of Science

To me, global warming is a problem that ranks in seriousness just below the issue of what color pocket handkerchief I'll be wearing to the royal wedding...  and no, I'm not invited...  and if I were, I wouldn't wear a pocket handkerchief.  But as I've read about and investigated the matter, there always seemed to me to be a scintilla of a sliver of a scrap of a possibility that there might be something to it.  This article by former climate alarmist David Evans from last week's Financial Post is the clearest debunking of the whole thing I've yet read and may be the last word on the subject I ever read:

The whole idea that carbon dioxide is the main cause of the recent global warming is based on a guess that was proved false by empirical evidence during the 1990s. But the gravy train was too big, with too many jobs, industries, trading profits, political careers, and the possibility of world government and total control riding on the outcome. So rather than admit they were wrong, the governments, and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant.

The article goes into precise and concise detail on what is happening and why - short, to the point and perfect for us non-scientists.  It seems to me we need a new definition of science:  theory supported by observation and experimentation over-ridden by money.
