To say one does not believe in significant present Global
Warming or Climate Change is like saying that one does not believe in
Areo-Dynamics when flying. It does not make any difference whether one
"believes" or not, it is still happening. Why would we not want to do
something to help the enviorment be more productive, life giving and
profitable? Waite

Hi all,
I concur.
Can we please knock off the global warming
stuff? I understand that is an important issue, but it has been raised
many times on this board in the past.
It has proved to be needlessly divisive on this
NAFEX site. Here is a link to my previous post on the
subject:
I hope this doesn't raise a guttural backlash on
the board here, but it is time to be hashing this out (well the time was
actually probably in the 70's but we cannot go
back)
Unfortunately, if we don't accept the
scientific consensus - the overwhelming consensus of climatologists, the
people who actually KNOW something about it - then clearly NOTHING will
change our mind. After all, it's just ridiculous that us laymen would know
more about this scientific issue than the scientists who specialize in
that particular field, those who have both the education and the
experience to judge competing claims.
For us laymen, it's just
going to be anecdotes (often erroneous, but we don't know that) and
politics (whether or not we watch Fox News or listen to talk radio). So I
really don't see the value of discussing it here. It's not going to change
any minds, and it's just going to get people upset when they really want
to believe otherwise.
