Stand Like A Rock

Try as they might these “scientists” just couldn’t make their model for warming match with reality!

400 years ago, in 1609, Galileo Galilei, who physicist Stephen Hawking hails as “perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science,” designed one of the first telescopes. He used it to make actual observations of the stars and planets and from those observations (actual observations being the key here in our later story) he concluded that the long held view that the earth was the center of the Solar System was wrong. His worked proved the decades old theory of Copernicus to be correct. The Sun was actually the center of our Solar System.

For centuries philosophers (scientists) had insisted that the earth was the center of the universe. They went to extraordinary lengths to document this belief by creating elaborate models to explain this geocentric view. Readers may recall seeing antiquities like this Geocentric armillary sphere in museums.

But the models were never quite perfect. There was always a flaw which failed to accurately account for, let alone predict, the behavior of the planets and the Sun. When Galileo’s observations challenged this model, he was eventually put on trial by religious authorities and subjected to house arrest.

Even as the all the scientific observations from that point on confirmed Galileo’s conclusions it would take more than 300 years before the Catholic Church under Pope John Paul II finally admitted that Galileo had been right all along.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long for the Warmers to admit they were wrong about manmade global warming.
