Re: ‘Flat Earth Society’ Claim
Two professors rebut John Kerry’s claims.
Speaking in Indonesia, John Kerry scolded climate skeptics – or members of the “Flat Earth Society,” as he put it – for questioning environmental policy. “We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts,” he fumed. Kerry should get his own facts straight before throwing around faux accusations. Meteorology professors Richard McNider and John Christy offer this rebuttal in The Wall Street Journal: “The warming numbers most commonly advanced are created by climate computer models built almost entirely by scientists who believe in catastrophic global warming. … We might forgive these modelers if their forecasts had not been so consistently and spectacularly wrong. … The models also fail to get details of the past climate right.” In fact, climate projections have been 95% wrong.
