Jeff Korson Synapse Fail

Now I'm going to focus on Tifton. Tifton proudly claims to be the heart of south Georgia, which is a bit like saying that Acton is the heart of west London. Around the USA there are people who are in the "Tea Party" and Jeff Korson in Tifton has an interesting article about climate change. His key idea is that climate change is not caused by the billions of tons of CO2 being added to the atmosphere by energy hungry humans. He starts the evidence with a link to a paper famous for bad science reporting, the Daily Mail!

The rest of the article goes through to state that warming is caused by all sorts of things including cosmic rays and vegetable decay. This is a decoy as these things have always been around. Jeff Korson is picking at small inconsistencies while completely ignoring the masses of real evidence.

His conclusion is that we can burn as much fuel as we like because global warming isn't our fault. But should you trust the scientific judgement of somebody who writes "final synapses". Doesn't he know the difference between synapses and a synopsis? And even if he meant synopsis it is the wrong word. Surely he intended "theory". But to compound the problem Jeff doesn't understand that there is never a "final" theory, just the best one that fits the evidence so far.
