IS CLIMATE SCIENCE A HIPPOPOTAMUS WITH FEET OF CLAY?

| WILLIAM BLAKE'S BEHEMOTH |
IN 1982 PHYSICIST RICHARD GARWIN ENLIVENED THE STAR WARS DEBATE BY CALLING ASTRONOMER ROBERT JASTROW " A HYENA" AT A SENATE HEARING.
LAST WEEK, A WATTS UP WITH THAT LEDE CALLED :
The IPCC CO2 Climate Narrative:
A “Behemoth On Clay Feet” Ready To Collapse
The earth’s history provides the solid proof that acquits CO2. The IPCC’s claim of CO2 being the dominant climate factor is a behemoth on clay feet.
Fred F. Mueller.
"when watching the aggressive, intolerant stance of the apologists of “man-made climate catastrophe” against all critics… don’t feel cowed if you are neither a rocket scientist nor an atmospheric physicist with a doctor’s degree...Don’t try to beat them by arguing on the field where they have superior knowledge...
For ordinary people, the best advice is to prove… high-flying scientific findings flatly wrong because... weak foundations invalidate the whole superstructure. Count on your common sense and keep in mind the biblical parable of the behemoth on clay feet."
Mueller's mixed metaphor splices together the Behemoth in The Book of Job, and the idol in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the Book of Daniel.
The "Behemoth" has nothing to do with:
"Feet part of iron and part of clay."
It makes its debut in the Bible's vivid account of a hippopotamus wallow in the River Jordan:
Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.

nine books before the prophet Daniel tells King Nebuchadnezzar that his dream of an idol with feet of clay foretells the crumbling away of the Persian Empire.
