considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:


Perhaps one day you'll see the light...just like this octogenarian:

"Reid A. Bryson holds the 30th PhD in Meteorology granted in the history
of
American education. Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the
University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology-now the Department of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences-in the 1970s he became the first director
of what's now the UW's Gaylord Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies.
He
has authored five books and more than 230 other publications and was
identified by the British Institute of Geographers as the most frequently
cited climatologist in the world."

(He was one of the first scientists to tout the idea of anthrogenic
climate
change, and was widely chastised for it. He also spearheaded the hysteria
back in 1970 about the coming of the next ice age. He has since switched
his views on the subject.)

Here's what he now has to say:

So..... having ridiculed that genre of scientist, you now seek to cite
them as factually accurate? How incredibly bizarre!

Why ridicule a man whose career ended about 20 years ago?


Read my post again, Gene. I'm not ridiculing him. Instead, I'm praising
him for having the courage to admit that he was wrong back in the 60's and
70's.

And who do you suppose is going to fund scientists who dispute the concept
of global warming?

There is a lot more money to be made by companies like Dupont, GE, Alcoa,
etc. if the anthropogenic global warming hoax causes a reduction in the use
of fossil fuels....but you conveniently ignore that fact, and only point to
funding by the "oil interests".






You can be sure that we'll be screwed by corporate interests on all
sides of the argument. It's their business, after all.
