Using hindsight to deny the existence of discarded
theories doesn't change reality.

I agree that semantic games are being played but
most likely not by Wikipedia who lists a number
of scientific theories that have been discredited
and discarded.

My Dad was taught the atomic theory, the theory
that an atom is the smallest indivisible discrete
unit of matter.

Global warming is being called a theory by virtually
everyone. I predict that's one more theory that will
be discredited.

Cecil:

I would hold back just a bit on that "theory."

When I was young, there was a "theory" that garbage just decayed back
into the environment--no harm done. Many years later, when poisons
began showing up in wells and the environment we began paying much more
attention to releasing garbage into the environment ...

Apparently, today, there is a theory that filling the air with garbage
is OK. That it is just decaying back into the environment ...

Well, once burned is twice warned ...

If my wife calls her cat a lion, does that make it a lion?

While keeping an open mind on that one is difficult, I just don't know?

What is your theory on that? :-)

talk about semantic games... 'global warming' is most likely happening. we
are still coming out of the little ice age and there are other factors that
are contributing... the game being played is blaming it on human
activities... and the bigger game is convincing people that we can stop it.
thats all a conspiracy to shut down 'big oil' and coal and the global
economy that depends on cheap energy.

If a billion people called a cat a lion, it would be a
lion by definition. Incidentally, a lion *is* a cat.
From Webster's: "cat - any animal of the family that
includes domestic cats, lions, tigers, and leopards."

Genetic testing indicates it is a common house cat, ergo the
hypothesis that it is a lion was proven incorrect and the theory
that it is a cat is confirmed.

Cecil:

In my biology classes, taken decades ago, I was taught plants were the
main recycling process of carbon dioxide.

Today, it is known the ocean is storing vast quantities of carbon
dioxide, indeed, in my readings, the limestone reefs being created by
the death and accumulation of shelled organisms is possibly the major
player ...

One thing I do know, politics is playing much too large a role in
science, and when there is such a partnership between big oil and
politics, I am only twice as apprehensive to the availability of real
facts. Politics appear to dominate all in todays world. Having even
crossed the church-state separation barrier and defining even marriage!
(a God created institution which gov't. has no place in. Drawing
images in the mind of when it was a kings right to sleep with your bride
first!)

The present world, in my view, has left the confines of sanity and
reality--setting up a fantasy world where a sirens' song is being sung
to trap the unwary ...

I draw no firm conclusions on global warming and have little hope
science will prevail in the near future. Of course, Rush Limbaugh has
determined it is false, and everyone knows, if rush said it, it is as
good as truth! ;-)

Jim:

Well, if you are ever at my home when it is the cats feeding time, you
may revise that theory!

The cat is king of this jungle ... :-(
