mnealtx 0 #6 January 26, 2007 Quotecience isnt done by surveys of sicentists but by publishing peer reviewed research. That hsould be the judge of this issue not any survey like this. Galileo's peers published that the Earth was the center of the Solar System - peer review is not necessarily equivalent to 'good science'. Peer review helps bad theories to be corrected in some cases, and can perpetuate bad *POPULAR* theories in other cases. Do I believe human activity is responsible for *some* global warming? Absolutely. I believe the jury is still out on human activity being the *MAJOR* reason for global warming.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

As long as its just a guess then I'm sure it won't. (You may well be right, I just hate it when people say "I guess" or "I bet" and then act as if they've just demonstrated something.)Do you want to have an ideagasm?
