"As I keep saying, the top atmospheric scientists feel they know a lot about what is happening and unless we know what they are talking about how can we challenge them?" Like all great religions the unwashed are required to accept certain precepts on faith. "The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead. To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Jefferson

<<"As I keep saying, the top atmospheric scientists feel they know a lot about what is happening and unless we know what they are talking about how can we challenge them?" Don't you get it, koan? They are counting on that......>> Don't you get it top cat, you are impugning every single top atmospheric scientist in the world as though they were a bunch of criminals. The vast majority of scientist's are very serious professional people who work very hard to be accurate about their claims and even use a peer review process few others do, and deserve our respect, not baseless condemnation! Good lord.
