Do you fear the theory of “global warming”? If so, how deep is your fear? As in would you be willing to bet a substantial amount of your net worth that the theory is not just real, but earth existential? Tick tock, tick tock…
The questions asked rate extra asking in consideration of a recent report from the journal Nature. According to a New York Times accounting of the article, “New research has found that scientists studying sea-level rise have been using methods that underestimate how high the water already is.” The Times ads that based on the discovery, it turns out “that the vast majority of scientific studies have made this mistake,” which is said to mean that “Coastal sea levels are, on average, eight inches to a foot higher than many maps and models of the world’s coastlines indicate.”
Woops, or something like that? Naturally the Times is using the errors of scientists to stir up even more alarm about warming's purported effects, and the urgency of now since scientists have so severely miscalculated sea levels, but it would be foolish for the rest of us to let the newspaper or scientists off the hook so easily.
Lest readers forget, global warming’s truest believers have long made their case for a looming crisis all about “science.” To reject the alarmism has been to reject science, along with something like “97 percent” of all scientists…But what if the scientists were wrong all along?
