Tee hee
Here's the Essay that got me started on Global Warming this morning ( besides my truck being under 50 feet of snow )
Suggested reading -- discusses solar activity, the "Little Ice Age"
the only thing that has been consistently true of "scientific theories" over time is that every one of them is superseded by a new one. If the discussion in the reference is right we gonna freeze out butt, shortly.
But will junk science be exposed? No bet.
One of my very favorite clips is the following, one the nature and Character of the men in government.

Dr Franklin comments on the Nature and Character of men in government
Thank you for the great quotation:
“And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable pre-eminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your government, and be your rulers.”
Dr. Franklin explained well why Fred Thompson lost — over 200 years before it happened!
In return I’d recommend the speeches of Dr. Michael Crichton:

Here is the beginning of “Environmentalism as Religion”:
“I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance.”
