   [On objectivity:]   
   [3 studies say ~97% of scientists agree on AGW].   
   They all come up with flawed methodologies. So we don't pay any attention to   
   that. We know that there are a whole host of scientists out there who have a   
   different point of view, who are highly respected, reputable scientists. So   
   the 97 per cent doesn't mean anything in any event because science is not a   
   consensus issue. Science is whatever the science is and the fact remains   
   there is no empirical evidence to show that man-made CO2, man-made emissions   
   are adding to the temperature on earth. We haven't had any measurable   
   increase in temperature on earth for the last 17.5 years. If you look back   
   over history, there's no evidence that CO2 has driven the climate either. So   
   I know that this is a view which is peddled consistently, but I think that   
   the edifice which is the climate change establishment is now starting to   
   look rather shaky because mother nature is not complying.

   Obese kids don't view themselves as overweight, says CDC report   
   Tech Times, 23 Jul 2014 14:02Z   
   A good number of children who are overweight and obese have a misconception   
   regarding their weight, claims new CDC data. That doesn't bode well for   
   getting children to adopt healthier lifestyles, say researchers.   
      
   It sounds simple, but there is a catch.   
   An inconsistent theory can prove it own consistency.   
   I call con(T) the Axiom of Denial.   
   It allows us to simply deny a contradiction exists.
