Key claims against global warming melt away.

Key claims against global warming melt away. Online:

"Two other studies, which are also published in the journal Science, have also revealed global warming miscalculations.

Yale University, in Connecticut in the United States, has found that the sensors on older weather balloons were either faulty or positioned incorrectly."

Constantly creating confusion with regard to information neither helps nor not helps , if you'll forgive my common parlance. It may be of assistance in the long term or it may not. We might have made a mistake and we may not have ,but in any case it's understandable. Blah, blah, blah. The truth is out there and it will not change. Our capacity to systematically avoid it is curious. We just don't want to know the truth. We wish to live in a state of perpetual indecision and confusion. It prevents us being right. It prevents us being wrong. It sustains what? Not us and not the planet. Most peole faced with an obvious crisis would get to fixing it pretty smartly. Not us. We argue about the data, the protocols, the approach, the information. Data is not information. Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. "You can't handle the truth." Tom Cruise was positively psychic when he uttered those words with great conviction. No, we can't. But the climate problem/disaster/crisis/ whatever degree of difficulty is still there and needs fixing.
