"Details, details. Don't bore me with his list of achievements" = Kant the Klutz thinks he has far better qualifications. <Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II; books: Technological Risk (about, surprise, technological risk) and Why Flip a Coin (about decision making) > "Old fogey"... interesting description by K the K. The old fogey no doubt has more brain in his little finger than K the K has in his whole body. If we put Harold Lewis, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman and Karl Popper up against Phil Jones, Keith Briffa, K the K and Mann of Mann Made Warming infamy, which group would look more like actual scientists? Most of the "old fogeys" are actually dead and although aging, I'd back the aged bloke and the dead on principles of science, rather than the Naughty Weekend with a Prostitute scientific principles of the unholy trinity of Briffa, Jones, Mann [even with Kant the Klutz thrown in]. Überraschung!! Mqurice
