"Bob, you are the one who is being duped. Or duping, I'm not sure which, but I suspect the former--I think you believe what you are saying. But--read the previous post and this one. Pretty standard fare for the right wing to ignore their own scientists' findings, take others' work out of context or completely misrepresent it, and try to confuse the public to defend their own vested interests."

Sam,

I will try to treat your comment with respect.

1. Ignoring facts - any facts that question GW are trashed by the alarmists. Who ignores facts - seems the charge can go both ways.

2. Duped - hockey stick? Antartic ice data? Russian data "assumptions"? Tipping point? LOL - the data has been shown to be false time after time - the scare data.

Ultimately one has to use common sense. What is the agenda of the alarmists? What is their data? What are their tactics? What is the record of their flip flops?

If GW is the threat the alarmists claim they would be for things like nuclear power. What we get instead is a platform of industrial anti capitalist policy.

When the proposed solutions are honest and realistic I will take the critics more seriously. As long as the tactic is scare only with no solution - I hold the alarmists in total contempt and I am seriously suspicious of their underlying motives.

BTW - here is a good example of the left fighting the others side of the issue.

The bottom line is that any material change in energy supply patterns will take decades to negotiate the legal and technical barriers - especially the legal barriers so skillfully erected by the left to prevent construction of energy projects.

Now - with this recognition in place and China, India and the rest of the world not giving a flip - we are being asked to wreck the economy on something that won't matter a lick.

We need an honest discussion - not a whacky Algore terrorising the world with stories of doom and gloom.

Bob
