What I question is why power companies have representation on EVERY
SINGLE site that claims to have "proof" discrediting AGW. You don't
think that's at all odd. I do. In fact I think that's very odd. So be it.
Why do you say it's odd? I think Poopie would have us believe it's only
a coincidence.
In some cases it may be a coincidence but I can see that energy people can have
a perfectly legitimate interest in climate issues too
He also wants us to believe that all people who have
training in any science are equally qualified to evaluate the data
underlying GW theories. I wonder if he believes chemists are a good
source for vetting claims that dolphins are intelligent, or if the
opinions of physicists are useful in determining the safety of food
additives.
On that subject, I'd likewise value your opinion of the suitability of the
following wrt climate science. They are the Board members of
environmentaldefense.org. Why so many non-scientists ?
