I don't think my response to you was mocking. You're entitled to your wrong ideas, though. So, you think we should just toss all of the scientific methods out the window because your political leanings don't allow for such things as climate models. I haven't noticed anyone on this forum advocating for destroying the economy of the world or forcing people into starvation. What I have seen is people advocating for common sense, an attribute you claim for yourself, in attempting to understand the data and making changes as best we can to offset the possibility of dramatic climate change. Why is that such a bad thing to you? |

Neither will I, Pat. But these are not opinions, they are scientific certainties we're talking about. You really think Catsup has been scientifically studied to the degree Climate has? And yes, your political biases have led to to accept rank nonsense as fact without a single legitimate source to back up your opinions. Exacly what the Koch brothers were hoping would happen. And exactly what the article was claiming. Edited by Brewster, Feb 21 2012, 12:33 AM.

Why Neal, do you think my take on all of this is politically motivated? |

Scientific certainties Brew? I was wondering if you would engage me in a back and forth question and answer session as we explore this a bit. Scientific certainty that is? No trick or gimmicks, just man to man. |

Sounds good, Pat. You'll look for science to back up your position? Or what other basis will you be using? Go for it. I promise to do the same. Edited by Brewster, Feb 21 2012, 01:03 AM.

I'm not a scientist Brew, so my line of questioning will be based on stuff I think is true and on my personal beliefs. I hope you too post what you believe to be true. This might be interesting. I'm also going to ignore any questions from those outside of you. This would be a one on one between you and me. Just two old farts talking. I think I'll start a separate thread so this one remains intact with your original intent. |
