Bruno, Thanks for the ad hominum attack. It clearly demonstrates the
contentiousness of what is becoming an almost religious subject. The
continental drift and plate tectonics argument of the late 1950s
never quite reached this level, however, it did not involve the
public and/or politicians or biologists. Clearly the AGWs like the
skeptics have their own litany of "well-worn" attack modes as well.
Cherry picking data and blogs is rampant on both sides. There are so
many to pick from. Which to pick usually comes down to who pays the
rent. I wish I was funded to do it. Like I said, I get blasted with
blogs from both sides of the issue everyday and try to stay near the
middle.
As I recall the original question was why is the Copenhagen
meeting becoming a flop. Maybe we should stick to the original
question. Gene
