A Link? Watt’s Up With That?

I've never created a post about another blog. Okay, I only have about three posts, so that's not a huge statement. But, regardless, I think this is a really great site. It is no big secret to people who know me that I don't agree with the current global warming theories floating around. And it's not that I don't believe the Earth isn't warming—I can't really say, but I disagree with it being all of humanity's fault. But, before I build myself a little soap box, I just want to direct people to Anthony Watt's blog, Watt's Up With That? What I really like about his site is that he has in-depth posts and he uses reputable scientific papers to support his statements; it also has lots of great images/graphs. My blog is still young, but it's nice to see something I can dream it to be.

Also, one last thing on global warming, and this is why I think everyone should keep an eye on Watt's blog: science cannot be decided by majority vote; data must be provided to universally "undispute" the theory. Also, according to the definition of a theory, a theory should make clear predictions that can be tested. I'm sick of crap like, "Oh, it's hot because of global warming," and, "Oh, it's cold because of global warming," or, "Oh, it's windy because of global warming," or, "Oh, more people are born with blue eyes because of global warming." It just feels like everyone is attributing everything and anything to global warming, and, obviously, there is nothing being done to try to falsify these statements—which is something that true scientists do.

So, remember kids, if a theory can't be falsifiable, it isn't science.
