Does MIT offer a BS in "earth science"? No. It has the same
offerings as Colorado School of Mines. You are merely repeating what
I've already said.

Of course it does. Here's the link:

http://eapsweb.mit.edu/education/und...jor/index.html

You can concentrate in Geoscience, Environmental, Weather, or
Planetary. In addition, you can major in other areas and minor in
these fields.


Thanks Jeff. I looked but could not find the actual title of the
degree offered. Where does it say BSES as in "Bachelor of Science in
Earth Science"?

As you can see SUNY offers a BSES:

http://www.fredonia.edu/department/geosciences/es.asp


I don't know why the exact title is so important to you. However, the
the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences in the
School of Science offers this degree:
Bachelor of Science in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences


Becasue he has to feel important becasue he has a superior degree in
physics...

I forgot to mention, the primary home of the department is the "Green
Building," donated by Cecil and Ida Green. Appropriately named.

This is where you're completely wrong. You're trying to make it sound
like the entire field of Earth Science has been made up of community
college dropouts. The reality is that there is a huge amount of
advanced science, most of it published in respectable, peer reviewed
journals.

In fact, a study was done to see how many scientific papers supported
the notion that man was a major cause of climate change, and how many
disagreed. Over 1000 papers were sampled, 75% agreed, 25% were
"agnostic" and had no opinion, but there was not a single paper that
disagreed. Although the study was criticized, even the critics
admitted that it was substantially correct.

Even the famous skeptics don't claim climate change isn't real, they
generally complain about the way it is described. For instance,
there's no way to prove that Katrina was caused Global Warming.



and
are affecting the very lives, livelihoods, educations, social structure
based solely upon their credential as "Scientist".

Yes, all those PhD's from major universities are worthless because
Crantz claims they're "soft on science."

No, I was discussing Earth Science. I never said anyone who had a degree in
it was stupid, or even mentioned the quality of a person having a degree. I
never said the degree was inferior to any other degree. I never said the
topics of study were dull, uninteresting or irrelevant. I said it was light
on science, the science being physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics in
regards to Dave's original comments. I've explained myself and even
apologized for any unintended consequences. You so graciously keep up your
personal attacks. Where did I mention I have a degree in Physics? I didn't
and I don't. But keep going on if you must.

Show me the cirricula and the school. Even if you weasel your way through
some Cobol/business school scheme there are still engineering/science
courses.

No I am referring to college graduates.

The reality is that there is a huge amount of
advanced science, most of it published in respectable, peer reviewed
journals.

Show me one person with a BS, MS or PhD in Earth Science that has published.
Not a degree under the category Earth Science but a degree in Earth Science.
Just one.

Opinion poll - now that's science! Now let's say 5 years from now the
"consensus" is the exact opposite. What does this say about all those who
claim man was the cause of GW? How about 30 years ago when we were entering
into an ice age? How much government funding is available to show that man
is not a cause of global warming? Increase funding for the contrary opinion
then you'll see change. Scientists don't like to starve.

Did you know man is a cause of tidal change? All the mass of those people
living on the coast with its ever increasing population will keep attracting
water further and further up on land! Not to mention the mass of buildings
and SUVs!


Even the famous skeptics don't claim climate change isn't real, they
generally complain about the way it is described. For instance, there's
no way to prove that Katrina was caused Global Warming.


But do they claim man caused it as you assert above? Is it climate change or
global warming? Why two concepts?




and are affecting the very lives, livelihoods, educations, social
structure based solely upon their credential as "Scientist".

Yes, all those PhD's from major universities are worthless because Crantz
claims they're "soft on science."

I was pointing out the logical fallacy of "appeal to authority". Your above
line is your conclusion, not mine.

I did check. You implied that "Earth Science" is the field that
claims Global Warming is real, but that is in fact supported by many
fields. Now you're claiming that what is called "Earth Science" at
MIT doesn't count because its not light enough.

Why don't you show us these "light" degrees, and demonstrate that its
people with these degrees that are behind the GW claims?
