The feet of clay of the man made global warming argument: Thought for the day version

Daniel 2:31-40 (New International Version)

31 "You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.


Footnote: I'm not suggesting this passage of prophecy from the book of Daniel is a prophecy about climate gate, but rather than the foundations of the scientific consensus are made of clay.There are far too many vested interests for there not to be an announcement shortly that the data has been looked at and is all ok ( my prediction would be before the end of the Copenhagen summit - but remember when the scientists at the Met Office were first asked to do this ( and before Ed Miliband and co lent on them ) they said it would take three years to redo.

PS You will never ever hear this analogy on Radio 4 thought for the day ....

Update: Read and try to follow Willis Eschenbach @ WUWT as he tries to follow the Darwin Airport (Australia) temperature records. It'll provide great ammunition for dealing with your Warmist brainwashed friends - and ignorant like Ed Miliband.
