Be careful of citing references without checking up on them. The film you cite has been highly criticized for misrepresenting data from a large number of respected scientific sources INCLUDING SCIENTISTS IN THE FILM. |

Yes, I said it was a biased film (although, perhaps more then I thought) But it outlines the points against warming. Thats the value I see in it. Not the stupid propaganda "Its a government conspiracy" component. |

Yeah, thanks for saying that, I'm getting pretty sick of hearing this whole 'no scientists disagree' thing. |
|
Gee, way to nitpick on something that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Never mind that you couldn't be more wrong to assume I don't know what the 'O' is for... something I learned in 11th-grade science class which was, let's see, twenty-six years ago. |

Holy crap, a string of decent posts. I'd have thought it impossible in this thread. |

Okay, but I'm at a loss as to why you repeatedly pressed the zero key if your understanding is so solid? And to say that the molecular structure of carbon dioxide has 'nothing to do with the discussion at hand' is equally odd. |
|
Let's not be flippant here. You know perfectly well what was referred to by "nothing to do with." And not that it makes any difference whatsoever, but I use a ten-key regularly, and it's simply faster to type '02' on it than left-hand-shift, right hand-'O', left-hand '2.' Same reason neither of us used the traditional subscript for the 2. /shrug |

The Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change would not exist if the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change were to say that there is no such thing as Climate Change, and everybody on the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change would lose their job. |

Oh, and while we're on Richard Lindzen (your link), let's play a little game of follow the money, shall we? Take a look here, please: Richard S. Lindzen. |

Yeah, that's fine, I understood that, but he wasn't all of the scientists in the film, if you get my meaning. There were clearly some who denied it; and clearly at least one who did not, as you say. I was just replying to your comment that there was no evidence of scientists denying it. |

If that's the wording I used, it was hyperbole and I apologize. However, I'd still like to know why those speaking against the IPCC's findings all seem to have connections to oil companies. |

Howie, I have no idea who's original text this is or if it matches your own views or not, but I suppose it really doesn't matter as it adds absolutely no value to this thread at all. At least Xei has put some thought into his replies, we've at least we've had some intelligent discourse concerning science, politics, etc. |

Who is PJ? Why should I know PJ? Is there anything relevant that you can tell me about PJ? You just plonked down a quote, and expected us to understand what it meant to you. |

Ok, so it's a random opinion you copied and pasted from someone you don't even know. Thanks for clearing that up. I just wanted to know whose opinion it was... pretty standard stuff when you're trying to have healthy discourse that actually makes sense. |

I was looking for some stuff about the guy who out-bet the MET office when I cam upon this. I couldn't have found anything that demonstrates my view on the whole issue and leaves me not much else to say. And thus I leave this topic (which is falling apart at the seams again) for a while. |
