I’ve been chatting with FR’s favorite global warming acolyte in e-mails. It’s amazing that a person can close their minds to the illogic of their arguments. I’ve been reading ‘State of Fear’. I’ve always been somewhat critical of Michael Crichton’s characters because I find them flat. I had trouble believing the characters of the global warming extremists in that novel but sadly, Crichton nailed them. My conversations showed an almost paranoid level of belief in man made global warming.

My point is that after my e-mail conversations, what I really find distressing is that real science, and there is such a thing, is denigrated by the alchemy-like predictions of global warming advocates.

Rather than earning the respect of peers and non scientists such as myself, scientists will be held in the same regard as used car salesmen and lawyers. Whatever ‘theory’ they are advocating will always be examined in light of who paid them for the research, not the science involved.

Good job though global warming advocates, on taking a golden age of reason and reducing it back to a dark age of superstition.

What I find distressing is that "George Bush stole the election, so the entire world is going to fry" currently passes for rational scientific discussion......

Yes, it makes me want to scream, how liberals can't see the possilbility for bought-and-paid-for bias in reasearchers who reach the conclusions leftist like, just because they often receive their funding from government and foundations, rather than corportations. They think government and foundations are incapable of having an agenda? Invariably, the leftist "solution" involves more money and power for government and these supposedly benevolent institutions . How is that not a vested interest?

I’ve been reading ‘State of Fear’

My nephew gave me the book to read which I did. (I loved it!) Towards the end, there is one paragraph on one page which was narrated by the female lawyer that totally explained the global warming crap by comparing it to a football field and the last 3 inches of it being the carbon dioxide craze..........

Bookmark that paragraph because it explains the BS all in a nutshell....

The advocate of whom you speak has an impressive notebook full of collections and absolutely no solutions that don’t involve turning out the lights.
