To assist Noah in building an Ark, God gave Noah a measuring stick that was 1 cubit long and was marked in tenths of a cubit. The stick was made of a heavenly material that did not expand or contract in length, whatever the temperature. So, thank God, no matter how hot the climate got, a cubit was still a cubit. Together with his friend, Nassau, Noah began drawing the plans for an Ark. They decided the timbers for the Ark must be cut to an accuracy of one-hundredth of a cubit.
With the plans for the Ark all drawn out and every cut of every timber specified to one-hundredth of a cubit, Noah took the plans and the measuring stick to the master builder, Carson. Carson looked at the plans and looked at the measuring stick.
Carson said to Noah, "I'll be honest and tell you I can't build this Ark. You've given me specifications to cut every timber to an accuracy of plus or minus one-hundredth of a cubit, yet you've given me a measuring stick with an accuracy of plus or minus one-tenth of a cubit."
Noah responded, "There is another master builder. If you won't build the Ark, I'll ask Trump."
Trump agreed to build the Ark. "It will be the greatest Ark ever and I'll get the Mexicans to pay for it. It will be huuuge!", Trump said. So, together with two Corinthians, Trump began building.
Every cut of every timber started an argument. The two Corinthians and Trump would argue over what was 10 and five-hundredths cubits and what was 10 and six-hundredths cubits. The project to build the Ark stalled and the melting polar ice caps didn't.
The moral of this story is: Don't pay attention to people who say they can measure things to accuracies finer than the tools they measure with. Such people are idiots and certainly not scientific.
Dr. Richard Lindzen said, “When someone [NOAA and NASA] points to this [a graph] and says this is the warmest temperature on record [2015]. What are they talking about? It’s just nonsense. This is a very tiny change period. And they are arguing over hundredths of a degree when it is uncertain in tenths of a degree.”
