Comment of the day
I was
reading another story on Anthony Watt's page
Watts Up With That and this comment from reader Larry Kirk popped out at me.
The thing that I do enjoy about the AGW / Natural GW debate is that it is a genuine raging scientific controversy, alive in our times, on a par with that of the �flat earth� or the �sun as the centre of the universe� (and it�s not hard to see how the egos and financial interests of the Mediaeval church got so hot under the collar that they resorted to execution to �prove� their point).
And it is a consequential debate, the outcome of which matters, which amusingly enough, will be settled not by ego or opinion, but by incontrovertible reality, a reality that will be demonstrated with hard work and integrity by scientists such as David Hathaway.
(My instincts and geological background suggest that AGW is probably just another Y2K, and that its chief promoter, AG, is just another politician running on ego and lining his pockets en route. But I may be shamefully wrong about both).
Anthony has been on quite the roll for the last couple of months and it is not uncommon to see leading Climate Scientists from around the world commenting on various posts. If you are interested in the climate and the scoence behind it, his blog is an excellent place to start reading. Again,
Watts Up With That
