Far, far more. They're very good at... that and generating fear.

And the current fear and panic over GW is a product of conservatism?
Even though there is no firm foundation for GW being caused by man?




It's a justified fear, and I don't see any panic. Just strong concern.
There is consensus that it is caused by man even if you don't want to
believe it.


Puhleeeeeezze...

I've worked in the standards world for over 15 years (ANSI and ISO).
Consensus means that everyone has found common ground for agreement. In
this case, no consensus has been reached. The only common ground is that
the climate seems to be in a warming trend. Speculation as to the cause
is all over the map and hardly can be classified as "consensus" by anyone
with a remote understanding of the meaning of the word.

Period.

At this point, it doesn't even seem that the majority of the scientific
community even agrees that GW is man-made.

Uhhuh... well, according to you I guess.

This is your stock denial response. I'm surprised, however, that
Halliburton, Cheney, Bush, and Rove didn't make it in the stock response as
well.
