Blunt answers about risks of global warming

Rajendra Pachauri isn't nearly as famous as Al Gore, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with an international panel on climate change that Pachauri, an Indian scientist and economist, has led since 2002.

But as chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Pachauri has an urgent message for world leaders about the perils of global warming. He talked to the Tribune recently while he was in town to meet with Mayor Richard Daley and Chicago civic leaders. An edited transcript follows.

Pachauri and Gore, two idiots intent on destroying modern society, while retaining power for themselves.

I can't help but think how ridiculous this all is, and how it ties into religion.

Anthropogenic Gobal Warming (AGW) is a religion. Those who practice this religion refuse to acknowledge the facts which dispute it. Of course it's a unique hypothesis in that it doesn't seem falsifiable. Any weather/climate event is attributable to AGW; hot, cold, floods, droughts, more intense storms, less intense storms, you name it. Normally, all it takes to falsify a theory is one contradictory fact. AGW has many, yet they don't give up the hypothesis.

How does this relate to Pachauri? Well, in the above-linked story he states:

Q: What have you done personally to shrink your carbon footprint?

A: I've become a vegetarian. I try to minimize the use of cars. Where I've failed is my impact with regard to air travel. I tell people I was born a Hindu who believes in reincarnation. It will take me the next six lives to neutralize my carbon footprint. There's no way I can do it in one lifetime!

So, he believes in two fairy tales, AGW and Reincarnation. How can you really take someone seriously who believes in previous and future lives, with zero evidence? Well, just look at the AGW hype, lots of belief there with only computer models as "evidence". Actual observational science doesn't support the hypothesis. It needs to be thrown out.
