I'm talking about attribution, not denial of data. There is reason to attribute 9/11 to Israeli operatives. There is reason to attribute GW to Cosmic Rays. We are not talking about denying that 9/11 happened or denying that the planet is warming (or denying the Holocaust happened) although you can find all sorts of fruitcakes on the planet.

The question is if one has enough of a functional brain to figure out the relative magnitude of supporting data. It is orders of magnitude in both 9/11 and AGW in favor of one theory and against the conjecture.

Your oddity is that in one case you seem able to figure this out, but not in the other case.

So what did you think of the well accredited past Pres of the National Academy? Such a stellar man, was he not?
