The psychologists call it cognitive dissonance, a state of discomfort arising from disagreement between reality and one's mental model of the world. If you manage to adjust your mental model to better match reality, then you might feel better. In the long run that's probably a better approach than your current coping strategy of attempting to ignore reality. |

You can't have a planet's temperature increase while its radiance decreases. All these bizarre miracles of nature you need to invent in order to sew your mistake-filled world view into reality are results of your cognitive dissonance. The good news is that it is never too late to ditch the crap. . I don't think i can [define it]. I just kind of get a feel for the phrase. - keepit A Spaghetti strainer with the faucet running, retains water- tmiddles Clouds don't trap heat.

Just more hand waving that it applies to everything and more asserting that the greenhouse effect 'violates' it.- Ceist |
