What is a "Climatologist"? Answer: a Recently Invented Job Title and Degree, Not a Science

In the ever evolving scam of anthropogenic global warming (now called "climate change" due to an absence of global warming), alarmists attack the opinions of any scientist who is not specifically a "climatologist."  This is a recurrent theme in alarmist propaganda as to why any dissenting scientist has no credibility.

So the Petition Project, which documents the dissent of over 30,000 scientists (over 9,000 of whom are PhD's), is meaningless...because physics, biology, chemistry, and even meteorology are not "climate change science" and therefore these scientists' opinions hold no weight.

This is undoubtedly the chief logical fallacy pushed by the warmists, i.e. an appeal to authority.  If some guy with a degree in "climatology" says man made global warming is happening on a large scale, than by god, it is and you can't possibly disagree.  Here's why that is B.S.:  if someone has a higher degree in math, and they say "2 + 2 = 5", you must accept what they say, because they have the degree and you don't.  This is especially true where the mathematician's conclusions are "peer reviewed."  That means another mathematician,  who is also receiving big bucks from the government to arrive at the desired conclusion, has reviewed your work.  Bingo!  2 + 2 = 5.

A climatologist is basically anyone with a degree in any number of sciences, who has used computer modeling to predict the weather or who has studied past weather patterns.  Big whoopee.  Here is an article from the Examiner.  Note:  it is four years old and since it was published, a number of "climatology" degree programs have been cobbled together by various universities.  However, it is still of value in spiking the warmist logical fallacy of "appeal to authority."

Climate Scientists Warn of Space Alien's Pre-Emptive Attack on Earth

Aliens Pissed Off
About Pollution 

No, honest, this story is from the U.K. Guardian, not the Onion.  Talk about desperation arguments for saving the global warming hoax!  The Guardian reports:

Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists. Rising greenhouse emissions may tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report for NASA.

It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.

Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth's atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.

Why would aliens give two hoots in hell about what we are doing to our planet?  How would that effect them?  Would our alleged "global warming" somehow affect planets in the Cassiopeia constellation? Ridiculous.

These eggheads have described the plot of the remake of "The Day the World Stood Still," when aliens come to earth to kill humans while saving all of the other species from our evil, polluting ways.  Of course, this remake was the dream scenario of climate crackpots all over the globe, who want humanity to die off to make the world safe for squirrels.

Apparently, some NASA scientists saw the movie, smoked some bad weed and woke up believing that the movie was real.  That's my theory anyway, and I think it is more credible than the aliens-as-climate-cops scenario.  Then the UK Guardian editors got a hold of the same batch of weed and woke up believing these hallucinations were an actual news story.  Either that or it's true what they say about liberalism as a form of insanity.  I report, you decide.

If ever there were a reason to stop all funding of "global warming" research, now is the time. The AGW crowd gets weirder by the day.
