Did you actually WATCH the video or are you, as I suspect, worrying over
Lord Puttnam?

Yes, I watched it when it was first shown on tv.

The SCIENTIFIC FACTS presented on the Swindle special are
irrefutable,

********!

I found it quite convincing at the time. Even you must have noticed
that it was completely one-sided with no opportunity given to refute
its claims. You might also have noted that they truncated a graph
where it diverged from the doctrine. It has been thoroughly trashed
since.

You mean like "An Inconvenient Truth"? Both sides cherry pick their data and
and one-sided. That's the entire point of having "sides." Yet only one side
has taken on religous fervor, with nay-sayers being labeled heretics.

My opinion, based upon all available data I've seen? Both sides have some
convincing arguments, but nothing indicates that there is an emergency to
which we must respond immediately. The more prudent course would be
continued and unbiased study of the matter. By funding both sides, the
debate should drag out for decades, giving us time to really find out
whether or not we are altering the climate to any significant degree. In the
meantime, technological progress should make the entire argument moot.
