A Little Critical Thinking

I happened to watch an interview yesterday in which the "expert" being interviewed said that the fires across Australia were "conclusive proof" of man made global warming.  The amazing thing was not that some fool said this, but rather that the reporter did not bother to question his conclusion.

Here are a few things that you need to know:

1.  The fires in Australia were started by arsonists who were protesting against global warming.  It's hard to understand how anyone could think that burning down an forest area larger than my state of Connecticut and killing millions of animals who live in that forest is a valid way to protest global warming.  But in any event, the fires were not naturally caused, but were set by arsonist/protesters.

2.  There were very dry conditions in the region of Australia that burned.  Conditions of this type appear periodically in Australia. 

So we have fires that were set by protesters which the "expert" said proved the existence of man made global warming.  That's crazy.  It just proves that the protesters were complete morons.

And we also have dry conditions in Australia that made the fires spread rapidly.  Let's say for a moment that the dry conditions were due to the weather.  What is there that tells this expert that the weather is due to human action?  There's no connection here. 

The problem is that so many people have bought into man made global warming that now everything "proves" it.  If it doesn't rain; it's due to man made global warming.  If it rains, it's due to man made global warming.  If it gets warmer, it's global warming.  If it gets colder, it's global warming.  When we went 12 years without a major hurricane hitting the USA, it was due to global warming.  When we got hit with four major hurricanes in the next two years, you got it; it was global warming.
