An appeal to authority or argument by authority is a type of argument in
logic, consisting on basing the truth value of an assertion on the
authority, knowledge or position of the person asserting it. It is also
known as argument from authority, argumentum ad verecundiam (Latin: argument
to respect) or ipse dixit (Latin: he himself said it). It is one method of
obtaining propositional knowledge, but a fallacy in regard to logic, because
the validity of a claim does not follow from the credibility of the source.

I preferred "Piltdown Man".

I'm trying to understand how the guy who founded the Weather Channel is in any way
qualified to speak with any authority on climate.

To be fair, one has to look beyond the authority and at the facts that
led to his conclusion. That man's sensibilities are so finally tuned as
to record a reading of imminent disaster on the doomometer is a mere
spit in the ocean when considering the grand scale of the history of the
Earth.
Personally, it makes sense to conserve the Earth's resources and use
them as efficiently as possible but not to prevent a 1/2 degree
temperature rise (or some such) over the next century. That's just
didling in the noise.

He doesn't cite any sources. I think I'll continue to believe those who do.

Will people wear fewer helmets as the global temperature rises?

Dumbass -


As you state, it's pretty much a matter of belief.

The analogy I like to think of w/ regards to attempting to show
someone the science of Global Warming is sorta like Darwinism vs.
Creationism. In order to accept Evolution, one has to believe in the
scientific method. Well, not everyone does, not even some people who
believe in Global Warming or Evolution.

By the Scientific Method, it is very probable that Darwin was correct
and that Global Warming is significantly caused by man-made sources,
but in neither one of those cases is it completely proven. No theory
is ever absolutely proven, they are only disproved.

So what are we left with? Another abortion argument, except this one
will have more and more evidence to analyze as time goes on.
