m Dana said, "I don't dismiss the idea of global warming or climate change or whatever you want to call it just because science is wrong about low-fat diets." Nor do I. I dismiss the idea that humans are causing the earth to heat up and it's going to lead to worldwide catastrophe because the science supporting this view is awful. But this blog is not about Global Whatever so I'm sorry I brought it up. There are many similarities between the poor science and conventional wisdom on both subjects. The histories mirror each other. "Science" accepts a hypothesis, all of the money/funding/prestige/fame backs a poorly supported hypothesis and they're off to the races. Very similar. So, when people like Dana blame the recent tornadoes, Katrina, hot weather/cold weather and the like on human caused man made Global Whatever I kind of shrug and say, "Okay." Just like most of do when someone says, "Oh, you shouldn't put butter on your broccoli because it's bad for you." Same reaction. Again, sorry for bringing up another religious topic here. If I comment any more I'll keep it to nutrition. I don't recall Dana blaming Katrina or tornadoes on global warming.
