Now, bill, you are an engineer who works on batteries and thus you have a pecuniary interest in this. Which I totally get and understand. Note: I've never attacked you on this and won't because your understanding of the science is exemplary. But - there's a chance that your being wrong can hit your bank account. Nevertheless, others who have financial interests even more remote than yours are attacked. Just something to consider. This is also why politics and science are inseparable in AGW. AGW is an entire subeconomy with politics choosing winners and losers. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that came partly from government funding that started long before Obama was in office. >With regard to your poll, most Americans believe in ghosts which, by the way, are no >less real that AGW. Are you back to a type II denier? I guess expecting consistency was a little to optimistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
