That's the difference in 72 with common sense and 62 without common sense. And since you are in England (I don't recognize either of your flags as the Union Jack...did England change their flag?) I can understand the fact that you don't recognize the name Bernie Mayhoff. Why don't you google up the name and see who old Bern is? Here, let me google that for you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Bernie+Mayhoff
The Climategate e mails were instructive. The scientists worried that the climate was not evolving as their computer models predicted. They fretted at how they would hide the decline in temperatures. They discussed the pressure they put on publications to silence alternative views. This is a political, economic issue with no realistic solutions.
Snakestretcher, your logic and assumptions are faulty. Einstein's comment does apply to people who have been converted to the human-caused global warming scenario. Humans undoubtly contribute, but so do natural forces, and proposed solutions will not work unless world populations are impoverished and millions of people die to create more meager resources for the survivors and of course the people running the show who will be among the privileged few.
We will when politicians drop their effort to scare the hell out of Joe Blow with their Hollywood produced movies then turn around and start selling carbon credits which supposedly allows an individual to just flood the atmosphere with CO² because "the individual paid for the right to do that"? And the same politician is named as a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE recipient. I asked for an explanation of how CARBON CREDITS supposedly work in another thread...and NOT ONE reply have I received from the CO² proponents. Not one. Believe it when I tell you this IS A POLITICAL ISSUE/SCAM.
Consider Cities And Roads. New Construction codes should require future cities and roads be constructed from materials that don't absorb, retain and radiate heat. Metropolitan areas have become, hot spots. The Lord's Green Earth will stay cooler than man's paved Earth. Moi No
University employees lean heavily to the left. Thats just a fact of life that libs are normally proud of and like to crow about. But not when eye of suspicion turns to the "unbiased" and "scientific" studies of the man made global warming zealots. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8427-2005Mar28.html
1. It's the Union flag, not Union Jack. A 'jack' is flown from the jackstaff on the bow of a ship. 2. The green, white and black flag is the county flag of Devonshire where I live. 3. The red and white flag is Polish, that of my parents. Clear now?
We are not talking about college faculty, the question is about climate scientist. For your answer to have any validity would require assuming that all climate scientists are college faculty which is not correct. Now admittedly almost all climate scientists are college educated but the so are at least a few conservatives. Also please note that the agreement of climate scientists on global warming is not just in the United States but is worldwide. Now even if we accept your rather flawed premise you will note that there are still about 30% of the supporters of global warming who are not liberals. So maybe you should drop the totally irrelevant assumption that this is a liberal vs conservative issue and concentrate on the evidence.
There is nothing unique about climate professors or researchers that makes them different from the restvof the academic breed. Most of the push for drastic action agsinst our tradationsl way of life is coming from the radical lib professors who get the money to do the research. So the idea that there is anything bipartisan or non ideological in the environmentlist movement is laughable.
I'd have though the single most effective thing a person who believes AGW is real do today to mitigate the effects of AGW is to entirely ignore the noise of the deniers.
If you see academia has monolithic on the concept of climate change and your own figures show that about Seventy percent of academia is Democratic then your statements make no logical sense.
The latest IPCC report starts to focus on risk management instead of mitigation because mitigation will be impossible and ineffective.
Indeed, with climate change being blamed for almost everything these days, the one phenomenon that seems to have escaped the notice of scientists, environmentalists and the media alike is that, perhaps above all, climate change is making us stupid. ~ Dan Sarewitz
