I don’t doubt climate change. After all the planet has been a molten ball of lava and a totally frozen ball of ice and snow. Both conditions were the result of natural processes long before the first man showed his face.

...totally frozen ball of ice and snow...

If you're going to buy "snowball earth" for a dime, I don't know why you won't buy the rest of the package, which includes man-caused global warming. It's all the same people doing the same science. I'm far from calling it fraud or anything like that, but I do wonder about it.

It's interesting that there was a wave of pomo "sociology of science" in the 80's and 90's which outraged scientists by seeming to call into question the whole idea of objective scientific truth. I read a number of these studies, and the one thing you can't deny is that science IS a social activity. Now, it's moved from the arena of the academy to the international political stage. Where careers were once on the line, now it's the political and economic future of nations. With stakes so high, is it even possible to regard this as objective science?

BINGO. Let's say it again!
