Understanding vs Acceptance
In my first post, I asked for people to understand the material. Not to accept it, but understand it as a basis for a discussion. "read, digest and understand this material".
I like Keith's 'hurricane theory'. If you know one is coming along, better make preparations.

Chip just said that he is not accepting man made (anthropogenic) global warming/climate change, because he is not happy with the peer review process. I have no problem with this. I think the peer review process was good, but surely it had flaws. We've never done this before people. Despite the difference in opinion, we still need to discuss the probabilities and possible effects.


On Economics
There was this economist that said quite recently that "Global warming is the economic opportunity of a lifetime". I forget who he was and I don't care much who figures out how to make money out of what. I care more about solid alternative energy generation, a healthy planet and food security.
