There are also some skeptics with "more than a grade school
education in science" in your country, Trevor. A very interesting
article entitled "Global Warming - Don't Wait up" appeared in a
newspaper here in the UK last week. Written by a chap called Ian
Plimer, a professor of geology at the University of Adelaide.

**Plimer is a liar and has been in the employ of the fossil fuel
industry (he is a GEOLOGIST, not a climatologist) for decades.
Plimer ignores the science and promulgates a lie that others have
done. This lie has been exposed and Plimer's reputation is now in
tatters. Sad, really, because he is an excellent geologist.His claim
is that temperature rises ALWAYS lead CO2 level rises by 800 years.
This claim is pitifully simple to refute, by examining the proxy
data.

You keep getting it wrong: it's climastrologist not climatologist.

Ad-hominum attacks again I see.

**You see nothing. Plimer has been caught out lying.

If you're not an AGW True Believer,
you must be in the employ of the oil or coal industry.

**Not quite. There are two more alternatives:

* You could be a scientific illiterate.
* You could be a religious moron.

No wonder you
still think that Scientific American is about science.

You mean the *corrected* proxy data?

**The proxy data is the proxy data.

As Dr. Pournelle said "If you can
make up the data you can prove nearly anything".

**Indeed. Fortunately, there have been teams around the world that have
produced very similar results. Denying the proxy data is no different to a
religious nutter denying the fact of evolution. Science has seen it all
before. Religious nutters, scientific illiterates and those with a financial
interest in the status quo will distort the facts wherever possible. In the
case of the fossil fuel industry, they are EXTREMELY well funded and
committed to muddying the waters. Morons like you, who have little
scientific training, are gullible enough to suck up the lies.
