Al A. Gore-ically Speaking...

We have a problem on our hands. Consider the following fable:

A DOG, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish, supposing it to be an egg. Soon afterwards suffering great pain in his stomach, he said, "I deserve all this torment, for my folly in thinking that everything round must be an egg."

Moral: They who act without sufficient thought, will often fall into unsuspected danger.*

Since when have scientists ceased to think—actually think—through their claims on Global Warming? Have they stopped checking themselves and begun assuming that it must be so? Since when have scientists ceased to have their "findings" cross-checked by other acclaimed scientists? Is this science? If so, abandon your posts you biologists! Flee for your lives you physicists! Run while you still can you astronomers! Your foundations have been utterly shaken by the earthquake of reason! The wind of reality has toppled the towers of your lofty ideas! The tide of truth has overtaken the walls of your "evidence"!

The inconvenient moral: scientists who do not incorporate thoughtful philosophy into their worldview will ultimately find themselves in a fix—a fix far worse than if global warming were real.
