Easterbrook, an emeritusprofessor of geology at Western Washington University, told hundreds ofexperts at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. "Butthere are a lot of inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we haveto temper that with real data."And the inaccuracies, and the undermining data are..... ???Here's the gist of the article:"Typically, the concern is not over the existence of climate change, or theidea that the human production of heat-trapping gases is partly or largelyto blame for the globe's recent warming. The question is whether Mr. Gorehas gone beyond the scientific evidence."" "He's a very polarizing figure in the science community," said Roger A.Pielke Jr., an environmental scientist who is a colleague of Dr. Vranes atthe University of Colorado center. "Very quickly, these discussions turnfrom the issue to the person, and become a referendum on Mr. Gore." "" "On balance, he did quite well - a credible and entertaining job on adifficult subject," Dr. Oppenheimer said. "For that, he deserves a lot ofcredit. If you rake him over the coals, you're going to find people whodisagree. But in terms of the big picture, he got it right." "Sounds like a politically-charged debate to me. That's a heavy load ofscientific evidence you've brought into this, Scott. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html "Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recentclimate changes have a natural-and not a human-induced-cause, according toone scientist's controversial theory."Oh, hey....that's good logic. That means my car and that one driving nextto me on the four lane highway are being pulled along by the same engine,right?
