And they'll be there. <br /><br />The question now is whether the effect of carbon and other AGW gases rise to the level (so to speak) of real concern, or if this is just what George Gilder called merely an overblown "Laodicean Hellfire."Wakefield Tolberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214688786380814406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730212144855253647.post-60606677370611147312010-01-19T08:35:10.099-08:002010-01-19T08:35:10.099-08:00W.T., I think its good to tweak the noses of any i...W.T., I think its good to tweak the noses of any ideologue regardless of stripe.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment of the climate gate matter.<br /><br />My belief in regard to C-C is that hydrocarbons MUST have some effect, and it is good to mitigate that if so.<br /><br />I think there is a distinction between what climate scientists have been saying and what those who wish to exploit climate change state are the implications of global warming.RB Glenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916044843808043297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730212144855253647.post-22083025165154741092010-01-18T17:15:42.623-08:002010-01-18T17:15:42.623-08:00RE: Your other comments to my blog:
I think what ...RE: Your other comments to my blog:<br /><br />I think what we're going to see here if things remain fairly much the same is the continuing division of this issue along ideological lines.<br /><br />To some degree that's as it probably should be in this case, as even IF the general statement about not mixing "science" on politics holds true, we still have to find a way to make sure this is not abused. Of course we both see how this can be: Carbon demonization, increased levies, fines, and taxes and "global governance" (as one Copenhagen muckity muck high-roler placed the issue) and potentially a vast loss of freedoms we all currently take for granted. Tragic if done for a Grand Nothingness.<br /><br />The CRU is supposedly no smoking gun per some pundits as it is just a BB shot in little Sis' rump and she goes screaming to Mama. Others see nefarious plans. Steyn is good on quotes and while I like his work generally, and he DOES quote these AGW Global types accurately, I'm less sure about his analysis of the math second hand, or the computer models he critiques when proclaiming that a researcher cursing about "travesties" is more than just a temporary frustration. However, to his credit and those over at the WUWT blog, some analysts have said the CRU work IS sloppy and tenditious, and that while perhaps some of what was displayed was human emotion coming out in frustration, the modeling WAS cruddy (no puns) and they have more to answer for than the defensive posture that the FOI requests were annoying or came in all at once (so alleged) or that the data is to be easily found elsewhere, etc.Wakefield Tolberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214688786380814406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730212144855253647.post-78180436391724230992009-12-18T11:45:28.390-08:002009-12-18T11:45:28.390-08:00Cool.
