Wired's Defense of Nonsense

Almost two months ago I posted in regard to a mystical Wired magazine equation that attempted to prove just how much CO2 is produced by humans. The flaw with this equation is that it starts with a variable F, meant to show Global CO2 emissions, that was explicitly on both sides which means that any other variable in the equation does not matter.

Being monks in the secular religion of global warming/man caused climate change the editors at Wired cannot help themselves from further obfuscation. In a reply titled “It Is What It Is” from the August 2010 issue, they state “Of course the two sides are equal-that’s what scientists call an equation”.

On the face of things, that is true but what the editors neglect is that an equation is to show that one can arrive at a value by calculating some combination of other values. If the right side of the equation relies on the same exact value as the left side and contains other values that cancel each other out, those other values are meaningless.

Let’s look at an example. Ohm’s law, V = IR can be written as V = I * V/I which means V = V, but it is not written that way because current (I) and resistance (R) are tangible quantities and so long as two values are known, the third can be determined. From the way it is written, the user needs to know I and R to determine V or the left side is determined by known values on the right. Wired’s equation tries to show how to calculate the left side but it requires that left side to solve itself (by way of being explicitly on the right) which is ridiculous. This is forcing the issue by using unknowable values that can be whatever the user desires because if A = B*C/B*D/C*A/D all you’re proving is that A = A and B, C and D never matter. B, C and D can literally (H/T Sean Hannity) be anything. And if one plays with the equation on the Wired website that anything is used to show that the Earth is always doomed because humans are awful.

To Wired, this doesn’t matter. Like every other climate alarmist instead of acknowledging the obvious they mock inquiries into their methods and continue to push mythology. The title of the response should have been “It Is What It Is And You Should Believe Us Just Because, Ignore What You Know, There Is Nothing To See Here”. And these are not the droids that you are looking for.

While Wired sticks to nonsense equations I will stick to my earlier statement;

This is a perfect illustration of why many don’t take warmmongers seriously anymore. Why should the public believe in this stuff if the purveyors treat us like imbeciles?
