Misunderstandings are to be expected because we are on opposite sides. We stereotype our opponents - then get pissed off when our opponents stereotype us. Our fight is surrounded by incomplete info and wrong assumptions and (often) deliberate misinformation. Do you remember that quote from...

The cause of the warming mystery is not rhetorical - it has to be physical - but the only reasonable responses are all political. And no-one detests politics more than I do. But politics is an alternative to war. And even if we just ignore the warming mystery, it remains a physical fact that...

If I can't mention that the skeptical scientists receive "speaking fees" from Exxon, then the skeptics should not be allowed to suggest that the mainstream scientists are "merely protecting their funding." And if it is NOT funding that motivates the mainstream scientists, then the skeptics...

I nominate You, Ian, to write to Rick and John. You seem to have approached this discussion with an honest and agnostic mindset.

There's been a 12% DECREASE of CO2 emissions in the U.S., in the last five years. The biggest drop came just last year - even as the economy grew. This is not spam from a conservative think tank; this is verifiable data from the unbought and unbiased U.S. Energy Information Administration...

------------------------------------- In 1968 I lived in a crappy little house in the foothills of Upland, in the upper right hand corner of this picture. We waited for "the Big One", when California would shake us all in to the ocean. And any time there was the slightest tremor - people...

S'allright...(had a feeling i was talkin' to myself anyhow) It's okay, I work better alone. And I still really want to find out how a prudent yet proactive strategy toward possible global warming could ever harm my poor brothers and sisters. But no idea where to look. So..... I remember...

Let's recap, shall we . . . ? I say: . . . . your skeptical position may be predicated on a mistrust of the government and a fear of conspiratorial forces beyond your control. . . And YOU say: . . . . that you loathe all the political parties and that they've all bought into the hype and they're...

Of course. Perfect Knowledge is a cognitive tool we use in business when trying to decipher the most probable motive behind a series of contradictory and inconsistent input. I am not convinced that your participation in this discussion, and your questioning of the reliability of the...

Michael, If you had access to Perfect Knowledge, such that you were personally certain that our amateur concens over the possible catastrophe of global warming were completely unwarranted, would you, at that same time, be in support of increased public investment in renewable and alternative...

Can't blame you. But this is all part of the mix - you won't escape it. Not the cherished ideologies nor the politics. (And you know when people start throwing shit at you it's only because they've run out of ammunition.) I don't think I agree with Alex on anything, but I still respect his...

Yeah, this hurts. I hate siding with the skeptics, but there's no way out of it. I've always accepted paranormal claims at face value because I refuse to declare that thousands of my fellow citizens are complete liars or frauds. And It beggars the imagination to think that 90 something...

1.) The ability to travel backward in time. 2.) The ability to eliminate the uncertainty from an inherently probabilistic process. ??????? That's two impossible things before breakfast. Doesn't seem fair, does it ? Not when "susceptibility to random influences" is a fundamental feature...
