Something good out of Wisconsin

I used to live in Wisconsin. I was never too fond of the state when I lived there. There are some good things that come out of Wisconsin though....Milk and Cheese come to mind....and now 87 year old scientist Reid Bryson gives us Hooey, slang for Bullshit, which Wisconsin has in plenty but which Mr. Bryson used in a different context.

Hooey is the word Reid Bryson used when asked about Global Warming. I really like this guy. He's a "Grumpy Old Man" whos not afraid to speak his mind with an in your face attitude. Kinda reminds me of Scrooges use of the word "Humbug".

Here are some of Mr. Bryson's notable quotes on all the Global Warming Hype::

"It's like there is an elephant charging in and you worry about the fact that there is a fly sitting on its head. It's just a total misplacement of emphasis," he said. "It (Global Warming) really isn't science because there's no really good scientific evidence."

"Just because almost all of the scientific community believes in man-made global warming proves absolutely nothing, Consensus doesn't prove anything, in science or anywhere else, except in democracy.... maybe."

"There is a lot of money to be made in this," (Global Warming) "If you want to be an eminent scientist you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide!' Speaking out against global warming is like being a heretic"

"There is very little truth to what is being said (about Global Warming) and an awful lot of religion. It's almost a religion. Where you have to believe in anthropogenic (or man-made) global warming or else you are nuts."

Last, but not least, when he was asked if he saw Al Gore's movie about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth." Bryson said:

"Don't make me throw up, It is not science. It is not true."

Oh, I really like this guy! We need more people in this World like him, to challenge the current "politically correct" so called conventional wisdom and media endorsed religion that is "Global Warming"
