"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Interesting and lacking the lunacy of avatar and the hysteria of Fitz.Sad. The science says unequivically that there is climate change. The rational and reasoned debate is over how and wht...not that it is not happening.BBC News - Climate scepticism 'on the rise', BBC poll shows
Looks like there has been a huge shift in belief about Global Warming since Climategate. At least in the UK where it was reported.
More stupid people...just what we need.
That is just the issue. ONe of the big arguments about the recent warming was is it out of line for what goes on, or is it caused by us.
It has been hotter, it has been colder. It must have been substantially hotter back in the Cretatias period because you got great big 20 foot tall cold blooded lizards wandering around MT and Saskatchewan, where temperatures these days get into double minus digits.
And my problem has not been with the concept of rising temperature. But with the idea that going into poverty is remediation.
If they had not fudged the numbers, they would be in better shape. However they had to fudge the numbers to make their point.
I was unaware we are going into poverty because of climate science. Are there any factual...not fudged...numbers to support this notion? Are there non ideological sources for the claim that we are going into povert because of climate science?
Or is this a prediction of a future that hasn't arrived yet?
btw, I am NOT shocked that a few scientists played with data. Happens more than most would admit. We lived with fudged data for generations...Dow Chemical, Big Tobacco, US Government Agencies, Political Campaigns...Vitamin Industry, alternative health practitioners, Autism Industry,...
get the hint?
