<<Not name calling, just facts. Nobel Laureates in WHAT field? Climatology? If any other field they are no more "expert" than any other layman. Check it out -- you'll see some won their Nobel Prize for physics, chemistry, math, etc. They have no expertise in Global Warming, they're just shooting their mouths off and trying to sound impressive. It gets down to the fact they are voicing an opinion, which isn't science.>> Oh, that is an interesting argument. Your organization of anti-taxation libertarians gathered a list of anyone who had a BA in any kind of science, and that is the supposedly impressive list of SCIENTISTS (many conservative wealthy medical doctors from the South, etc.) that Michael Cummings and other anti-global warming advocates bandy about when they want to try to impress the gullible around here. Is there a doctoral degree in global warming, incidentally? I would think that REAL scientists from several fields would be pretty competent to analyze trends, study data, and form educated opinions.

Actually atmospheric chemists understand the subject pretty well and they are "surprise" classified as chemists.

Re: Global Warming. I do not know enough about this issue to get involved in a debate about it. I just want to point out that Nobelists who won awards for physics are just as well equipped to talk about the issue as Frederick Seitz, the "petition movement" man. Dr. Seitz is a distinguished scientist, but he too is "just a physicist." As for the signatories of the "petition" he organized -- the only contribution he has evidently made to the anti-global warming cause -- he himself has said that only 1/3 of them have advanced degrees.
