Global Warming and what you can do to against it
"Geoffrey S. Mendelson" wrote in message ... Arfa Daily wrote: 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. Arfa, you miss the point. Ever since it started, you have not needed more than a grade school education in business to understand that if you support global warming, people will give you money. Al Gore's movie started out as "the pitch*", a powerpoint presentation for his new business selling carbon credits. He was in it for the money and nothing else. Geoff. * All startups have a "pitch". It's what you show potential investors, hoping that they will buy in without asking too many questions. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Jerusalem, Israel N3OWJ/4X1GM New word I coined 12/13/09, "Sub-Wikipedia" adj, describing knowledge or understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the situation. i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found in the Wikipedia. I don't think I am missing any point, Geoff. You state the obvious, and I find no fault with that. I was replying specifically to a rather different point raised by Trevor, where he was implying that anyone with better than a grade school education, had to be a MMGW believer, and that only sub-educated people could possibly form any other opinion based on the data that is put up as a given by the CC evangelists. I was merely pointing out that one of his own countrymen, who is clearly a well educated and well balanced scientist, was an advocate of taking a more rational view of the 'facts' with which we are being constantly bombarded ...
