Apply Occam's Razor

"One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything." Occam's Razor

The above quote is relevant to consider when you read the following report published by NPR . It reports that since the study began in 2003, researchers have not been able to detect any increase on ocean water temps. This is after deploying 3000 sensor buoys. The report claims that
"In fact, 80 percent to 90 percent of global warming involves heating up ocean waters." It goes on to state: "There has been a very slight cooling, but not anything really significant," How's that for convoluted logic. Any increase would have been presented as proof certain, but an actual decrease is "insignificant" They try to explain the failure to find what they expected as bad data or lack of understanding of the forces at work in the ocean. They don't seem to be able to recognize that the models they use to predict 20-30 or 40 years into the future might simply be wrong about global warming. I'd be happy if they could forecast next weekend correctly.
Update: The world has not gotten warmer for the last 10 years. See this.

How true! Amazing how so many people have been completely fooled by the glow-ball warming crowd!

Thanks. I read that Dingle (D-MI) wants to kick it up a notch on fuel taxes. Something to the tune of half a buck/gallon!!! I use 20 gallons/week. I drive as part of my job and all that will do is cost me $500 / year. I can't drive less just pay more.
The grab my tax money BS is getting bad fast. Of course folks that don't pay taxes will get some special tax credit. YIKES!
