Allow me first to introduce some of you to The National Academy of
Sciences.

For those unaware of its origins and history, please see:

After that you may wish to read the following:

I know there are several eminent scholars with serious credentials and
unimpeachable climate models participating in this thread, but I
thought the conclusions reached by a highly regarded, and apolitical
science academy may be worthy of introduction.

Undoubtedly some will view this report with a gimlet eye, but it
certainly trumps all of the largely idiotic commentary and maniacal
ravings from those who can only view this issue as a political pawn on
a chessboard.

BTW, for the record, I'm not interested in the opinions of anyone here
on this topic. That's shorthand for save your bandwidth, I'm dumping
this thread.

Hmmm, the main body of this thread seems to have wandered off. Maybe reading Michael Shermer's Skeptic column, "The Political Brain", in the latest issue of Sci Am magazine might loosen the discussion up.
