  These people also produced a documentary asserting that breast implants

Mainstream media and government  have had decades of opportunity to 
objectively present the true cost of various aspects of our technology. 
When non professionals try to undertake the task, there is much more 
roughness and error in the message. To just take the ridicule route or to 
say it is not proven harmful yet are extremely negative approaches, driven 
by anything but conservatism. There is nothing conservative if your doctor 
tells you that since you have no lung cancer, you could keep on smoking, 
why / how would it be conservative to use exactly the same reasoning and 
words about global warming?


  Then came Against Nature, a 
  documentary which aired on the BBC which then had to issue a public
  apology for showing it.
 
  Get some SCIENCE not blather, Fred. And PLEASE post to the list!

I absolutely agree. Yet it is a fact that the time scale for the real science 
re global warming is not exactly defined yet. And is is absolutely ludicrous 
that the likes of you refuse to err on the side of caution  while the science 
actually goes about it's sciencing. Should YOU be wrong, a simple sorry 
would definitely not do in 5, 10 or 20 years. Should the likes of Gore be 
wrong, we could always off with their head or their money or both, our 
grandchildren would actually get a little bigger share of our oil and they 
might even get a chance to visit some remote south pacific atoll before the 
sea covers it.
wannabe a real conservative?

some remarks here (but may be we should go to the OT list?)

* scientists have no evidence of why the climate warm nor how fast
* but the evidence IS the climate warm :-(
* who cares of why? the only thing we can do is act on *our* warming 
causes (we can't shut down volcanoes :-()


so make as many efforts as you can, prepare for storms and pray if you 
beleive in god...

LOL! :-)  You guys are funny!

The *1971* hypothesized scenario widely discussed back then in the media is 
now being deceptively rebranded as a NASA prediction.

Climate modeling on sliderules! LOL!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

Sorry... time to go catch my breath! :-)

Right here. Thanks for asking! :-)
note: AIT = An Inconvenient Truth

The England and Wales High Court (Administrative Court) Decisions:

Justice Burton:

I turn to AIT, the film. The following is clear:

i) It is substantially founded upon scientific research and fact, albeit 
that the science is used, in the hands of a talented politician and 
communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political 
programme.

ii) As Mr Chamberlain [note: the *Plaintiff*] persuasively sets out at 
paragraph 11 of his skeleton:

“The Film advances four main scientific hypotheses, each of which is very 
well supported by research published in respected, peer-reviewed journals and 
accords with the latest conclusions of the IPCC:

(1) global average temperatures have been rising significantly over the 
past half century and are likely to continue to rise (”climate change”);

(2) climate change is mainly attributable to man-made emissions of carbon 
dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide (”greenhouse gases”);

(3) climate change will, if unchecked, have significant adverse effects on 
the world and its populations; and

(4) there are measures which individuals and governments can take which 
will help to reduce climate change or mitigate its effects.

I do not understand your meaning, below. Be more precise and succinct.

(I don't know you, or your motivations, but muddying the waters is a common 
tactic of the right. IOW, sowing confusion into the debate, like this: a) 
appearing to agree with both sides, b) leading up to clear conclusions then 
stating the opposite, c) incorporating vague and maladapted analogies, etc. 
Is this what you are engaging in?)

 Mainstream media and government  have had decades of opportunity to
blather snipped
 reasoning and words about global warming?

   Then came Against Nature, a
   documentary which aired on the BBC which then had to issue a public
   apology for showing it.
  
   Get some SCIENCE not blather, Fred. And PLEASE post to the list!

 I absolutely agree.
more blather snipped

Then leave it there!

 wannabe a real conservative?

What is the scientific definition of conservative? I am engaged here in an 
exchange concerning established scientific method and facts vs. politically 
motivated and dishonest junk and pseudo science.

Give me science, please, and stuff your politics!

 I've read your posts for a long time, Fred. Generally speaking, you almost 
 always have an axe to grind in these kinds of exchanges (purposely avoiding 
 the word debate here because I've read only assertions and insults... the 
 opponents have no *science*]

You become slick tonged Carl when others don't agree with you.

You only read what pleases you, I guess.

 And PLEASE reply to the list! :-)

You can start here, Carl. Now, I know you won't like what you read and
will immediately state that ALL of the references here are from people
who don't know what they're talking about, aren't qualified, or
whatever. However, it may be educational for those who are interested in
the truth instead of holding onto a political agenda. Now, this is
off-topic and I'm done with it here.
