Science by the Pound
37 minutes ago Charles Rotter 4 Comments
Science, at least in theory, is supposed to be about clarity and testable claims. But in the climate bureaucracy, truth is measured by weight. Zeke Hausfather, ever the loyal spokesman for consensus, actually bragged that their rebuttal to the DOE’s Climate Working Group report runs 459 pages—as if the more paper you churn out, the more correct you become. By that standard, the IRS tax code must be the pinnacle of scientific achievement.
This is what passes for rigor now: “We win because our stack of paper is bigger.” It’s the bureaucrat’s dream—bury the opposition under a mountain of text, contradictions and all, then declare the matter settled. The DOE’s authors produced a concise report. The consensus machine responded with a bloated tome that contradicts itself at every turn, then claimed victory on page count.
That’s not science, it’s paperwork with delusions of grandeur. And since nobody sane has time to wade through 459 pages of bureaucratic padding, here’s a straightforward comparison table that shows exactly how their logic collapses under its own weight.
