[MD] The Religion of Global Warming

[plattholden at gmail.com]

Hey John, 

When it comes to whom to believe about global warming I'll take 
Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson over a political hack like Al Gore.  
Dyson wrote that climate change has become an "obsession," the 
primary article of faith for "a worldwide secular religion" known as 
environmentalism. 

As for a "few esoteric scientific quibbles" over fudging data, the British 
Parliament takes the "quibbles" seriously enough to convene hearings to 
investigate the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia University, the 
major source of climate data for the Intergovermental Panel on Climate 
Change. The focus of the investigation? Data manipulation, date 
suppression and data integrity. 

So yes, we disagree on what constitutes "shown." Such is the nature of 
friendly debate.

Regards,
Platt.
