Doubts set in   31/8/2007

The ranks of global warming doubters in the scientific community are swelling. The consensus ain’t so agreeable, it seems.
But now a study of all research papers between 2004 and 2007 indicates only seven percent give an explicit endorsement of that so-called consensus. Forty-five percent give an implicit endorsement. But 48 percent of the papers are classified as neutral — neither accepting nor rejecting the hypothesis. And only one of the 528 papers reviewed makes any reference to climate change leading to catastrophic results.

    That’s funny. I read that article, via Andrew Bolt’s weblog, and it wasn’t nearly as simple as you present it.
    I wonder why yours was so simple?

    Do any other readers find this Vincent’s utterings indecipherable? The only thing that is clear is offensive abuse. Should he be banned?

    Bernard, shouldn’t you let “everyone” (yes, this blog is groaning under the weight of its contributors) in on your little secret?

    You know, that you have already effectively banned me, over at A Bolts’ site? Why do you even bother to ask the question, seeing that (1) who the hell reads this anyway, and (2) since when are you into democtratic processes?
