I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself

The National Post has an opinion column by Lorne Gunter today discussing the Argo buoys and the data they've been producing (hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link). This paragraph is a good summary of the article's thesis:

So why are some scientists now beginning to question the buoys' findings? Because in five years, the little blighters have failed to detect any global warming. They are not reinforcing the scientific orthodoxy of the day, namely that man is causing the planet to warm dangerously. They are not proving the predetermined conclusions of their human masters. Therefore they, and not their masters' hypotheses, must be wrong.

And in this excerpt, Gunter cuts through Dr. Willis's evasive babblings:

Just look how tenaciously some scientists are prepared to cling to the climate change dogma. "It may be that we are in a period of less rapid warming," Dr. Willis told NPR.

Yeah, you know, like when you put your car into reverse you are causing it to enter a period of less rapid forward motion. Or when I gain a few pounds I am in a period of less rapid weight loss.

Well said.
