Note: "The following article has not undergone any scientific peer
review, since that is not normal procedure for American Physical
Society newsletters. The American Physical Society reaffirms the
following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body,
the APS Council, on November 18, 2007: 'Emissions of greenhouse gases
from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect
the Earth's climate.'"

Another great casualty of AGW is the scientific method, and the
integrity of science as an institution. It is unprecented for a
journal to invite debate, then publish responses prefaced with an
editorial dismissal.

Since when do "governing bodies" determine physical reality, in the
absence of experimental evidence?


Figs 3 and 7 are interesting. I suspect that, 50 years from now, AGW
theory will be cited as a classic example of pathological science
married to political opportunism, and a blunder that killed more
people than WWII.

What utter nonsense. But your prognostications aren't credible and
should be taken with the weight that their selectiveness deserves.


You don't like Figure 7? Because it's too selective? Sorry, it's the
only planet we have data for.
