In many ways it's sad to see you don't have the integrity to do a mea-culpa and admit how wrong you've been spreading fearmongering on SI for years about Global Warming. I expect nothing more from one of Dale Baker's View from the Hard left zealots. The same thread that spent months spreading Global Warming fearmongering, now doesn't have a single participant with enough integrity to do a mea-culpa now that the fraudulant cat is out of the bag. The only amusing thing about these posts is noting how you cherry pick starting points of a discussion months ago, and pretend you haven't been proven wrong. But hey, thanks for saving me the trouble and providing the link. Now everyone can go back one step further in the discussion to find this post. Message 25751239 Citing one alleged book has been done. But, instead of admitting how easily duped you've been by the words "study" in any left leaning website, you've chosen to convolute into sad sophistry looking for a way out of the hole you've dug. Such is the place you've found yourself in. The word "study" seems to have the same intoxicating effect as "peer reviewed" did on hard left worshippers of Al Gore. I may be a lousy writer, but an educated person understands "study" can be placed on any document to fool the naive into believing credibility has been shown. The word "study" in the age of the internet can mean just about anything. Just as the word "peer reviewed" can. Effective critical thinking requires one to look beyond the obvious, and examine the underlying assumptions, methodology, means and motivation. It requires a habit of cautious evaluation, an analytic mindset aimed at discovering the component parts of ideas and philosophies, eager to weigh the merits of arguments and reasons in order to become a good judge of them. Hard left environmentalists possess few of these attributes, which is why they so often fall into caverns of deep cognitive dissonance and cannot deal with events such as ClimateGate when they slam them upside the head.
