I heard an interesting proposition put forward by a scientist this evening, that non-scientific ideas such as intelligent design and global warming denyers, ideas that have been considered and rejected by the larger scientific community, are the recipients of a kind of "scientific welfare" from the (R) political class, for purely political reasons. They need the welfare because ANY theory goes through evaluation by other scientists in the field. The above ideas failed the test.

Al, > Has it ever occurred to you that you could be wrong about GW? It's not like you are an expert with a lifetime of research supporting your ever so strong beliefs. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Anything beyond that requires faith. I consider the calls for a "planetary emergency" to be an extraordinary claim. Without extraordinary proof, I cannot place my faith in a bunch of socialists who believe in fake solutions such as "cap-n-trade." Tenchusatsu
