Read an actual scientist's thoughts. I have mentioned Einstein, Popper and Feyman who made specific points about science which I have quoted. Statistics have nothing to do with it. As Einstein said, there might be thousands of scientists who agree with him, but it takes only one to show he's wrong. Similarly, Popper provided the falsifiability idea. Global Doomsters deny that idea = anything that happens confirms their theory. If it's getting colder, it's global warming, if it's colder, it's global warming, if there's a temperature increase at a particular altitude, it's global warming, if there isn't it doesn't matter, if there's no snow, it's global warming, if there is snow, it's global warming, if there's drought, it's global warming, if there is flood, that's also global warming. Wind, rain, anything that happens, it's global warming. It's a bit like Allah and God = everything that does or doesn't happen is Allah's will. Global Warming is very like that, with true believers, heretics, apostates, excommunication, burnings at the stake, a catechism, bible, encyclicals, congregations, priests, high priests, donations, tithes and big jamborees. You misread the 3 of 3 which was referring to the doctors in one instance. 3 doctors were wrong and I was right. But your question was silly. Of course I use the best information and thinking available, which might or might not be the doctors. It's not a matter of "blowing them off". That very phrase suggests a lack of thinking. Mqurice
