Your Al Gore reference is smoke and mirrors, and completely irrelevant. The settled science part are your words, not mine, and completely innaccurate.

Please educate yourself wity something other than Faux News.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As I said before, *Al Gore is irrelevant to the actual issue*. He is only a messenger. To blithely discredit 150 years of long and thoughtful research by physicists, meterologists, climatologists, oceanographers, mathematicians and astronomers, peer review after peer review of every single hypothesis vetted to the nth degree, and a science which freely admits that it still must answer some of the more intractable questions to provide a complete picture - as every true science does, every time - because you don't like the messenger - is just ugly, unscientific politics. To do it because of greedy, narcissistic motives is reprehensible and immoral. ::::remaining content stipulated:::: Algore IS irrelevant. My point being that the words were not Roy's. They were, in fact, Algore's. We may take solace in the fact, that one blind squirrel has found his nuts, today. More to the point...The science is not settled. As evidenced by the number of qualified physicists, meteorologists and climatologists that have taken opposition. And while the science to which you refer is, in fact, peer reviewed, in the scientific community dissent against a concensus is an essential part of the scientific process. Where there is no debate, there can be, ultimately, no truth. Only politics. What's interesting, and what many on The Other Side are so enraged about, is that the most vocal about this matter refuse to debate it at all. Gore, for instance, will not be on any program with any other guest who may speak. He will have the questions put to him vetted before he agrees to appear. He will not answer questions that do not presuppose his position is correct and absolute. (I speak with some first hand experience with this, as a producer of radio interview programs while I was at CBS.) In fact, recently, in Chicago, he was scheduled for a media tour, all the TV chat shows, all the radio stations. The day he was in town, the scandal broke about the e-mails from the University of East Anglia. All his appearances were summarily cancelled, and he left town under cover, so as not to have to face questions. Gore is only, as you say, a politician. And not a very good one at that. But he is hardly alone in this. Else, why have there been no open debates on this issue. There is only assertion and denial of opposition. But there are no questions answered, no evidence challenged. That's not science, Bruce. That's politics. History has presented other examples, look at Lister, reviled for his position that contagion may be spread doctor to patient through contaminated hands. Virtually, the entire medical community, scientists...chemists, physicians, surgeons, researchers...all condemned Lister for his single voice against the concensus. And yet, he was right. Proven so in the fullness of time. After the First World War and through the Second, science advocated eugenics as a true and viable scientific solution to man's ills. Dissent was fiercely suppressed in some circles. Often with execution a result. Now widely discredited on scientific grounds, only a few holdouts still assert eugenics as a means to a societal end. William Shockley was among them. In the fullness of time, and debate, did the truth emerge through the politics. And, as you correctly point out, that a true science must admit it's incomplete understanding, as is the case in the Climate Change debate, and answer the more intractable questions in order to complete its understanding. In which case, dissent is also part of the scientific process. Taken in these lights, shooting the messenger, either messenger, is reprehensible and immoral. Which puts the abject dismissal of dissent in the same category as those who deny the concensus themselves. Put that another way, there must be debate for the truth to ultimately emerge. To dismiss, condemn, or silence either side is to deny the emergence of the truth through scientific processes. The Man Made Climate Change advocates, including Gore (yes, a politician,) have joined many sitting politicians in state and federal legislative bodies in calling for the silencing through revocation of grant, through revocation of certification, through termination of employment of anyone not supporting the Man Made Climate Change agenda. Read Barbara Boxer's statements on the subject. These individuals, as many of this body of advocacy, have been guilty of the kind of ugly, unscientific politics you yourself have here decried. The truth will be known in the fullness of time. Silencing either side, shooting either messenger will only support the emergent politics. It will not support the emergent truth. p |

I said nothing about liberals here - you are putting words in my mouth. Science is not liberal or conservative - it is only objective. Liberals and conservatives used to know that (except when the church told them not to - it's only when the prevailing power structure is challenged that science is politicized, and even then, the real scientists eschew the crap). My logic is nearly perfect, and only falters when I do not have facts - in which case I admit I do not have the facts. Logic is not built on presuppositions or bad analogies, or even on opinions. Yours is likely nonexistent, since facts appear to mean nothing to you. Bruce Jensen |

Your Al Gore reference is smoke and mirrors, and completely irrelevant. The settled science part are your words, not mine, and completely innaccurate. Actually, 'The science is settled' is a quote of Algore. He said it at the Oscars, he's said it on Charlie Rose. He's said it numerous places. Please educate yourself wity something other than Faux News.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As I said before, *Al Gore is irrelevant to the actual issue*. He is only a messenger. To blithely discredit 150 years of long and thoughtful research by physicists, meterologists, climatologists, oceanographers, mathematicians and astronomers, peer review after peer review of every single hypothesis vetted to the nth degree, and a science which freely admits that it still must answer some of the more intractable questions to provide a complete picture - as every true science does, every time - because you don't like the messenger - is just ugly, unscientific politics. To do it because of greedy, narcissistic motives is reprehensible and immoral. ::::remaining content stipulated:::: Algore IS irrelevant. My point being that the words were not Roy's. They were, in fact, Algore's. We may take solace in the fact, that one blind squirrel has found his nuts, today. More to the point...The science is not settled. As evidenced by the number of qualified physicists, meteorologists and climatologists that have taken opposition. And while the science to which you refer is, in fact, peer reviewed, in the scientific community dissent against a concensus is an essential part of the scientific process. Where there is no debate, there can be, ultimately, no truth. Only politics. What's interesting, and what many on The Other Side are so enraged about, is that the most vocal about this matter refuse to debate it at all. Gore, for instance, will not be on any program with any other guest who may speak. He will have the questions put to him vetted before he agrees to appear. He will not answer questions that do not presuppose his position is correct and absolute. (I speak with some first hand experience with this, as a producer of radio interview programs while I was at CBS.) In fact, recently, in Chicago, he was scheduled for a media tour, all the TV chat shows, all the radio stations. The day he was in town, the scandal broke about the e-mails from the University of East Anglia. All his appearances were summarily cancelled, and he left town under cover, so as not to have to face questions. Gore is only, as you say, a politician. And not a very good one at that. But he is hardly alone in this. Else, why have there been no open debates on this issue. There is only assertion and denial of opposition. But there are no questions answered, no evidence challenged. That's not science, Bruce. That's politics. History has presented other examples, look at Lister, reviled for his position that contagion may be spread doctor to patient through contaminated hands. Virtually, the entire medical community, scientists...chemists, physicians, surgeons, researchers...all condemned Lister for his single voice against the concensus. And yet, he was right. Proven so in the fullness of time. After the First World War and through the Second, science advocated eugenics as a true and viable scientific solution to man's ills. Dissent was fiercely suppressed in some circles. Often with execution a result. Now widely discredited on scientific grounds, only a few holdouts still assert eugenics as a means to a societal end. William Shockley was among them. In the fullness of time, and debate, did the truth emerge through the politics. And, as you correctly point out, that a true science must admit it's incomplete understanding, as is the case in the Climate Change debate, and answer the more intractable questions in order to complete its understanding. In which case, dissent is also part of the scientific process. Taken in these lights, shooting the messenger, either messenger, is reprehensible and immoral. Which puts the abject dismissal of dissent in the same category as those who deny the concensus themselves. Put that another way, there must be debate for the truth to ultimately emerge. To dismiss, condemn, or silence either side is to deny the emergence of the truth through scientific processes. The Man Made Climate Change advocates, including Gore (yes, a politician,) have joined many sitting politicians in state and federal legislative bodies in calling for the silencing through revocation of grant, through revocation of certification, through termination of employment of anyone not supporting the Man Made Climate Change agenda. Read Barbara Boxer's statements on the subject. These individuals, as many of this body of advocacy, have been guilty of the kind of ugly, unscientific politics you yourself have here decried. The truth will be known in the fullness of time. Silencing either side, shooting either messenger will only support the emergent politics. It will not support the emergent truth. p- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I don't care about Al Gore. Al Gore is STILL irrelevant. Nobody proposes to silence either messenger. Let he who has the evidence present it. I have not see any new evidence to the contrary in awhile - just the same old hackneyed arguments that keep getting dredged up, plus flash-in-the-pan exclamation points like that one about satellite data from a couple weeks ago. They are either already accounted for or are being worked on. If the basic theory needs adjustment, however big that may be, it gets done - no real scientist wants to see it done wrong - that makes no sense. Meanwhile, the real scientific community has been near consensus on this matter since before Al Gore Jr. was even a known name. The fullness of time, as I have explained before, is already largely passed and the big questions have been essentially answered. I knew this already 35 years ago, when only scietists were still questioning the details, rather than every screwball who had a political opinion. Stop making excuses for the bozos and the coropration for whom this is an inconvenience. More important things than money are at stake. Bruce Jensen Bruce, "...More important things than money are at stake." That is precisely the issue in contention. |

And being an active officer in the US Government, that raises some very serious 1st Amendment issues. And yet, she has proposed some pretty significant legislative motion to specifically silence those who don't sign on to the agenda. This is contrary to scientific discourse, debate and process. |
