		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Just as the natural sciences are built on a persistent curiosity and 
healthy skepticism with regard to how we interpret what we see - never 
accepting any explanation as truth if that explanation cannot be 
supported by empirical evidence - philosophical inquiry reflects a 
persistent curiosity and healthy skepticism in regards to what we define
 as truth, empirical, evidence, and thought.&quot;










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher 






Apparently Professor Torcello missed or failed to take philosophy courses that covered &quot;
persistent curiosity and healthy skepticism&quot; in the hundreds of different schools of philosophy going back to the early Greeks. 




More information on skepticism can be found at;




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_skepticism#Schools_of_philosophical_skepticism


As the Professor proposes to arbitrarily jail &quot; skeptics and deniers&quot; in a field of natural a sciences why would 


that not apply to &quot;skeptics or deniers&quot; in the field of philosophy?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This guy is a philosopher so I’m trying to reproduce his bizarre logic.

For example ‘Misinformation about climate is criminally negligent. 
There are those who fund climate misinformation. Therefore those who 
fund climate misinformation are criminally negligent.’ ....No that’s not 
valid.

How about ‘Misinformation about climate is criminally negligent. 
Everyone provides climate misinformation from time to time. Therefore 
everyone is criminally negligent from time to time.’ ...No that’s not valid
 either.

Can someone help me out here?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following was sent directly to Professor Torcello as his  website is closed for comments. I don&#039;t expect a response.
Professor Torcello,
Basis the logic you followed in determining that those who challenge the
 &quot;sustainable development,nee climate change, nee global warming 
consensus then Galileo, Copernicus,Newton and any number of others 
honored scientists were in fact criminally negligent for pointing out 
that the consensus was wrong.     
https://theconversation.com/is-misinformation-about-the-climate-criminally-negligent-23111

There are two old sayings at work here;
He who pays the piper calls the tune and Follow the money.
For too long the agenda driven government&#039;s and environmentalists&#039; 
objective has been to control the total energy market by demonizing and 
controlling CO2. The money source, government salaries and grants,i.e. 
taxpayers money, called the tune and was slavishly supported by 
government employed scientists and academic scientists awash in 
government grants. 
The government has been providing taxpayers&#039; money for &quot;research&quot; and 
now the taxpayers are calling for accountability from those who are now 
demanding billions more to be spent to stop global warming ,no climate
 change, no climate disruption. A game of three card monte being in 
played with science aided and abetted by the media. 
No doubt the &#039;circle the wagon&quot; rapid response &#039; truth squad&quot; reported in a New York Times blog will consist of many of the same cast of characters, tax payer funded government employees and tax payer funded academics, who starred in the CRU email and file Climategate. Instead of forming a defense team which 
will probably resort to character assassination e.g. &quot;Dr. Curry is a 
heretic&quot; from Scientific American, why not challenge  the &#039;deniers&#039; to a
 series of open and public debate time and place to be agreed on by both
 parties. This might avoid Congressional hearings which seem to frighten
 AGW alarmists whose funding might, no will be be at risk.

A good  start would be to use Professor Richard Feynman&#039;s,
Caltech commencement address given in 1974 &quot;Cargo Cult Science&quot; as the 
basis for evaluating scientific performance. One quote should set the 
agenda for an ethical investigation of government funded research.
&quot;I say that&#039;s also important in giving certain types of government
advice. Supposing a senator asked you for advice about whether
drilling a hole should be done in his state; and you decide it
would be better in some other state. If you don&#039;t publish such a
result, it seems to me you&#039;re not giving scientific advice. You&#039;re
being used. If your answer happens to come out in the direction the
government or the politicians like, they can use it as an argument
in their favor; if it comes out the other way, they don&#039;t publish
it at all. That&#039;s not giving scientific advice.&quot;
With the release of the GRU emails and files it is evident that there is a worldwide collusion to hide the truth.
 Obviously you have failed to even peruse the evidence since you seem to
 lack a science background or the willingness to conduct an in-depth 
investigation to determine the facts and the truth. 
Respectfully,]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Torcello mentioned &quot;scientific consensus&quot;.  I would be willing to wager his field of expertise is not philosophy of science.  Science is not a democracy.  Period, it, unequivocally, is not a democracy.  Scientific consensus means absolutely nothing if those holding the consensus are wrong.  My opinion they are wrong will be challenged.  But, when those holding the consensus conspire to censor opposing views (various people mentioned in East Anglia emails), when they change archival data because it doesn&#039;t fit their model (James Hansen, possibly others), when they continue to use models that have been shown to be inaccurate (real warming has not met the hypothesized expectation), one has to doubt their belief in science.

“When Kepler found his long-cherished belief did not agree with the most precise observation, he accepted the uncomfortable fact. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest illusions; that is the heart of science.” Dr. Carl Sagan


The believers in AGW are refusing to do what Kepler did.  For that, one has to wonder if they truly are scientists.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why can&#039;t we just outlaw stupidity?  Torcello is trying to tell me how I have to spend my money since he feels that any contribution I might make to support sanity in the climate change discussion illegal.  Making it illegal to financially support policy opposed to his ideology leads, of course, directly to making it illegal to support political parties with which he disagrees.  That, to me, is one of the definitions of a fascist.]]></description>

However, most people who major in philosophy end up in the office of some metropolitan security company, working 80 hours per week on salary, supervising several hundred security guards.  There&#039;s not very much time for philosophical introspection.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;What&#039;s really pathetic about the global warming nonsense is the idea that the Marxist Totalitarian Left could possibly save the world from global warming even if it were a reality instead of a farce.&quot;



Bingo. They make so much fuss over their anger of &quot;denial&quot; to distract us from the lack of convincing evidence that its valid and that they have any competence at solving anything.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Actually, philosophy is one of the most important subjects taught and certainly influences all human beings in one way or another. Plato advocated for &quot;philosopher kings&quot; since the love of knowledge should also lead to wisdom. Plato was wrong.&quot;



I absolutely agree. It&#039;s the way we handle philosophy that is dangerous. We can&#039;t ignore it. We should find ways to do much better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;We have good reason to consider the funding of climate denial to be criminally and morally negligent. The charge of criminal and moral negligence ought to extend to all activities of the climate deniers who receive funding as part of a sustained campaign to undermine the public’s understanding of scientific consensus.&quot;





It would be interesting to explore the philosophical genealogy of that little rant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;We have good reason to consider the funding of climate denial to be criminally and morally negligent.&lt;/i&gt;

Why? Is it because it stops the Marxist Totalitarian Left from destroying capitalism and sending the world back into the Dark Ages?

What&#039;s really pathetic about the global warming nonsense is the idea that the Marxist Totalitarian Left could possibly save the world from global warming even if it were a reality instead of a farce. 

That&#039;s like claiming that Obama will make America into a prosperous economic powerhouse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think we should jail people who are alarmed by climate change, and people who are not alarmed by climate change.  Declare the whole country a jail.  Everyone commits ThoughtCrime at one time or another, so toss &#039;em all in the clink.  That&#039;ll teach &#039;em, and provide plenty of job growth for jailers.]]></description>
