Color Us Skeptical
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 12/02/2015 - 10:35amClimate change is the cause of everything, even crime, prostitution and terrorism.
Those are among claims studies have made in recent years. With world leaders meeting in Paris this week to discuss a new global climate treaty, we'll hear more of these stories.
The terrorism connection, which blames the rise of ISIS (or the Islamic State) on climate change in Syria, is particularly noteworthy because President Obama said earlier this year that climate change is a greater threat than terrorism. We're guessing that will encounter some skepticism in Paris right now.

Climate change still science, not law
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 11/10/2015 - 5:04pmScience is a process, not a doctrine. It asks questions and sets out to test them for answers. But our culture seems to regard science in an animate form, like a guru seated atop a mountain.
We put science on a pedestal and submit to it as the final authority on all of our problems and important questions. We rely on science to give us the answers.
We even permit science to be the driving force behind public policy, in spite of the fact that science is a search for questions that remain unanswered.
Take the issues of climate change and global warming.
