I made the observation some time ago that Global Warming was like psychoanalysis, an ideology, not a scientific theory.

Karl Popper famously critized psychoanalysis during the 1930’s as an ideology. The hallmark of a scientific theory is falsifiability, something that GW lacks. If it snows in May, that’s due to Global Warming, if it’s warm in January likewise.

Rain, drought, blizzard, hurricane, heat wave, cold spell; all observations confirm GW with probability 1.0.

“Global warming is not a theory, it is a religion. It could be snowing in Miami every summer for a decade and the believers will still believe.”

Ahhh... the voice of sanity. Well put. I congratulate you!
