The "Science" is NOT "Settled"

Every time I hear a global warming alarmist parrot the mantra "the science is settled" I simply remember a few of my favorite things — namely the many failed predictions of that so-called "settled science":

Embarrassing Predictions Haunt the Global-Warming Industry


The big list of failed climate predictions


"Top scientists" blame their computers for predictions exaggerated by 300%


You get the picture — I could go on, but I see no point in invoking the alarmists' beloved tactic of ad nauseam repetition. Solid science is reasonably predictive. Alarmist pseudo-science is betrayed by its very failure to be reasonably predictive, which failure is not mitigated by either the frequency or the volume at which it is repeated that "the science is settled".
