Ah, but Brents' point is that smoking and cancer are proven fact. However, at the time, Troifim Lysenko's views on biology were proven. So were the Eugenicists that lead directly to Dachau. Almost 100% concurred (physicians, anthropologists, geneticists, biologists) on this "fact."
What's a motivation for exaggerating the impacting of AGW? More power over peoples lives by politicians (unless one agrees with the self-congratulatory speeches the give on their sacrifice for public service?), academicians who would have guaranteed income from research, Billionaires, can get subsidies from Uncle Sugar-so all is well. On the other side, there are coal companies, oil drillers, who would suffer economically. So, who is the villain, Colonel Mustard in the kitchen, or the master's butler? My suspicion is that people, in the BRIC's and also the US must be pouring some significant co2, methane, and carbon black into the atmosphere. To what effect, I do not know, because I do not trust. All I can say, if you've got a substitute electricity maker, and it works 7x24, affordable, doesn't pollute, then bring it forward. If not, then we're all just playing pretend with our own lives. Example: When Germany shut down it nukes 2 years ago because of Fukushima, they are now burning hundreds of megatons of US coal. This is the result of not having a Working Substitute ready. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Ruquist <yann...@gmail.com> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, Nov 10, 2013 8:09 pm Subject: Re: Our Demon-Haunted World You comment does not merit a response.
