You knew what i was saying. It would be perfectly proper to say I believe that AGW is real.

I don't know who Ray Comfort is, but it is too bad he could not have debated Charles Pierce who said: "Everyone is always in one of three states of mind: belief, doubt or disbelief.

Most top climate scientists believe in AGW. They believe AGW is real and very very dangerous to our species.

Getting things correct is more important than arguing over syntax.

I also do not believe there is a god, of any kind. I do not even think sentient beings capable of higher order thinking would recognize a concept of a god as making any sense.

when I asked him how many do not believe in anthropogenic global warming he said -effectively none i.e. we know!!!!

Koan, I've brought this up before. You do the notion of AGW a great disservice when you say you believe in it. We are said to believe in fairies and ghosts and deities and other supernatural entities. These are outside the scope of science. Claims of scientific validity are not expressed with "believe in" but rather "belief that" something or other has been sufficiently evidenced.

In the "Evolution vs. God" propaganda piece, Ray Comfort makes a bunch of atheists look like fools in part by repeatedly saying they "believe in" evolution. We don't believe inevolution. We don't believe in gravity. They are science.
