Comments on Advance Indiana™: Your're Now Dangerous And Anti-American If You Disagree On Global Climate Change

Try having Sheila as a professor. The woman can't hide her bias against you if you don't agree with her political opinions.

reading some of the comments here I have to wonder about the participants understanding of the empirical method. Sheila Kennedy a radical HA! Give me a break, such are the limits of the debate today.

I thought either dementia or senility had set in to "Old Blue Hair" some time ago....

Isn't it amazing what tenure can do for a "professor"? Perhaps Universities need to make tenure a status under continuous review???

Sheila Kennedy does the Indiana ACLU a horrible disservice. If she's the face and direction of that outfit, they can forget about getting a single dollar of donation from me.

Further, what has she ever done to qualify her to be a professor at IUPUI SPEA? When you walk into Cavanaugh Hall and head to the upper floors, you'll find Ph.D.s with some pretty hairy education credentials.

Here's Sheila Kennedy's credentials:

J.D. cum laude, Indiana University School of Law
B.S. with honors, Indiana University
A.A. Stephens College for Women

She has a law degree, an common and shallow professional-school credential established only to make work for some lawyers who don't wish to practice, yet still wish to be paid handsomely.

This unimpressive academic credential, her sole graduate degree, earns her $115,361.00.

Talk about grossly overpaid. Can we not find a SPEA professor for $45,000? This bloated salary is an example of just walking off with Indiana public resources.

SPEA is a haven for solpisists who are incapable of arguing their positions to anyone outside their circle and who frequently suffer rotator cuff injury for excessively patting themselves on the back. It's a school of questionable worth, uncertain whether it even exceeds the coloring-book classes taught in the School of Education.

Anon 7:24, so it's wrong to question scientific theories? Tell that to Einstein who decided to challenge Newtown's theory of gravity with his theory of relativity. Through testing, Einstein was proven to be correct. What if we said back then that Newton's theory, centuries old, was "settled science and couldn't be questioned? There was certainly a heck of a lot stronger scientific consensus in support of Newton's theory than currently supports anthropogenic global warming theory.

The fact is AGW theory is based completely on computer models that make predictions about the future climate. The theory is not based on testing, it is not based on observation. Those climate models are subject to limitations, one of the chief ones being is that they over emphasize the importance of CO2 while not considering a much bigger factor, precipitation. Another limitation is the data fed into those models to make predictions about the future. Obviously not every factor affecting the climate is entered into the models.

CO2 increases have been shown to follow temperature increases by several hundred years, not the other way around. During the last century surface temperatures have warmed substantially more that atmospheric temperatures which is completely the opposite way warming via the greenhouse effect would take place. Gary is right that solar activity is almost certainly the culprit for most of the temperature changes.

Nonetheless, it is a fundamental principle of science that theories be subject to challenge. This politicization of science with respect to the AGW theory is a terrible precedent. I wish it was at least confined to this subject, but unfortunately you're seeing it in several areas.

Bottom line is that people like Sheila Kennedy are liberal hacks without the brains God gave a pencil eraser. They are anti-science morons; nothing- not even the facts- are allowed to come before their liberal religion.

Gary, you said it best in this post; no need to me to expound. Global warming has been effectively proved to be a lie.

Why on earth anyone pays an ounce of attention to this out of touch liberal hack is beyond reasonable comprehension. Extremist Democrats like Kennedy are working both nationally and locally to shut down the free flow of discourse... because anyone who has a thought different than what they hold must be silenced.

My observations are based on respectable scientists who don't happen to subscribe to a political agenda that is being advanced by the Left in this country for ulterior motives--but they are opinions. Folks like Sheila Kennedy have a right to their opinions but not their own facts.
