>Hi Warren > In your opinion then, what is the "selling" of global warming based on? > Ed
Ed, I don't clearly know. I am not by nature a skeptic, yet am quite skeptical with regard to some of the 'big scares' in the news today. There seems to be too much junk science and guesswork conclusions offered up in support of these scares. As I understand it the theory of global warming was originally based on an interpretation of data from ground-level monitoring stations. Scare stories in the media then began. Subsequent study of temperature data acquired from satellites failed to support this theory. So why has global warming assumed the appearance of truth in the public perception? A desire to secure large amounts of taxpayer funding for 'scientific research' may be relevant, and fearful people can be manipulated. A similar motivation seems to be involved with the selling of HIV as the cause of AIDS. Viruses are identified by pure isolation, photomicrography and crystallization, none of which have been accomplished with HIV. A while back Keith posted on this list some good info pertinent to junk science. -- ...Warren Rekow Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html To unsubscribe, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
