This for me is key. I was recently attacked for saying "if we assume" for a number in a calculation, when these PHD's writing papers do that exact thing regularly. Then the pundits take such assumptions as fact, and these alarmists don't understand that it all started with an assumption that likely has no reality.
To me it they are begging the question.
They are making the assumptions to try and prove their conclusion which they have already formed.
they have formed these conclusions before looking and seeing if the evidence supports it.
that is not science.
as for warming it is supposed to happen. They are trying to predict what takes hundreds to thousands of years to develop
in a 40 year window. that isn't going to happen very well.
