For the record i'm hugely skeptical on the whole Global warming issue, that doesn't stop me from agreeing with almost every single measure introduced in it's name however for entirely different reasons.

End justifying the means for me, so i just let everyone else worry about it and achieve the agenda i would push for anyway but couldn't get without the scare tactics.

A formal discussion does not need to be "peer reviewed". Can you please let that go?


It usually helps in determining if it is true though. I can claim to have bread a rat that sings and dance but t tends not to hold weight unless it can be reviewed and my findings duplicated by my PEERS.

I'd love to see them.

You sure you're not half-french or something?


I am, in fact, 1/4 French, 1/2 Irish, and 1/4 Scottish. It's difficult to identify with French heritage in Boston, though, because it's represented by fall down drunk Quebecois construction workers almost exclusively.



I figure the English will be seizing my lands and oppressing me any day now.

Stop putting the word "peer reviewed" in there Joph. Please. I never said that was a requirement.


It's a requirement for anyone to take research seriously. Non peer reviewed research is worthless for obvious reasons. I'm sure you can just magically "have a sneaking suspicion" as to it's veracity, but the non clinically insane among us rely on a somewhat higher standard.

Gbaji should recognize that despite all the hoopla over global warming, it's really global dimming's fault that things have been getting hotter over the last 18 years.

Hell, we could even go back to using aerosols to increase global dimming's effects, weakening the effects of global warming, and continue driving SUVs indefinitely!

A some point though,"day time" running lights will really have to become standard.

Like gore? LOL


Gore isn't a standard.


In fact, I don't think anyone has made such claim in this thread, well other than you.

Not to be presumptuous, but I believe Smash was referring to the scientific standard review of peers. While I know that means absolutely nothing to you (it would have to for the conservative agenda to survive).

Gore has nothing to do with climate science. While he's a fairly bright guy, I'd surprised if he understood much of it very well. His contribution has been communicating the urgency of it as a global issue. Evangelizing, if you will. He clearly has a gift for it. Anyone who could convince the the US populace to form a consensus actually backed up by the science has accomplished a major feat. Obviously there are some particularly dim witted suckers who will ignore the science and cling to the other side of the argument because of Gore's political views, but someone has to be on the losing side of any argument.

Agenda? What agenda might that be? Are you implying that conservatives are out to destroy nature? You're a bright one.
