Gav,
As you can see your posts are arriving in a sorry
state. Please fix this malfunction.
On one side scientists are saying that the
warming of the planet is primarily a natural
phenomenon. The other side is saying it is
primarily man-made phenomenon. I am on the side
of those thinking that humans have a major
responsibility. But I was wanting to consider
this problem as a static pattern of value rather
than something absolute and true. But you and Platt have a fun time at it.
I often ignore the blah, blah, blah that goes on
between Platt and Arlo, I can ignore this thread
if it takes on the same tone. (And btw, mostly I
agree politically with Arlo.)

yes like nearly all endeavours it is now tainted

its intellectual raison d'etre is still
apparent, as opposed to being a blind slave to

wrong direction. Greetings Gav, There are
questions in this post. Are they aimed at
someone specifically, or general questions? Is
science either to be honored or
diminished? That's the choice. One or zero?
My initial point was not whether or not science
deserves honors, but how obstacles are created
when competing extremes tangle. Marsha . . Shoot
