To Steve Springer: I am worried that you may be "tilting at windmills." Inventing data-less fantasy arguments and then poking at them. Perhaps you would like to look at the most recent IPCC report. You can find it, along with other interesting information, here.
http://www.ipcc.ch/ This would give you an opportunity to digest the actual scientific data on the topic. Of course there is uncertainty here, but that has been quantified and acknowledged in the IPCC itself. To be honest, the scientific argument is simple and direct, if you view the evidence with an open mind, it takes a deliberate act of will to find it lacking. The question is not weather we are 100% certain- we never could be, there is only one planet and we cannot create a replicated experiment (100 Earths, 50 get an "industrial revolution" the other 50 dont, measure long-term temperature). And even if we could there would be experimental error... In fact, practically nothing in science is absolutely certain. The question: Are you uncomfortable with allowing experts in a field to scientifically evaluate evidence, come to conclusions (with associated, quantified, uncertainty), and then base public policy on those conclusions? If so, then I suggest you avoid hospitals. Basically everything treatment and technique in those places carries with it some level of uncertainty. -rwm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
