Worth Reading: A True Story About Numbers

I of all authors and posters know about the validity of numbers and how statistical information can be influenced by a removal of one or more pieces of data. Let me tell you a little secret about my primary line of training: I am a statistical analyst. So when I run across stories about how policy has been influenced by bad statistics, I do some inquiries to validate those stories, otherwise, they are just stories. But when I find people who share divergent political views from my own who claim to have proof that certain members of my trade are doing things that make my trade look bad, I really listen. And if they have a scientific or math mindset to back it, that makes it that much more worth looking into. Guess where I'm going with this: GLOBAL WARMING.

One of my favourite authors of all time is Orson Scott Card. Politically and religiously, he and I do not agree. But I read the following article written by him and it validates what I myself have been doing. Now, I could explain in detail how he validates my stance that man-caused global warming is just another crock. Or, I could let you read his article, because he is just a far better author than I am, and his way of delivering information and telling stories is just vastly superior.

So please, if you have any desire to learn the truth about global warming, read his article, then do your own follow-on research to validate it.
