I only wish that academics like Rawlings would apply similar intellectual vigor to, for example, the equally unproven theories of global warming.

Well I guess there has been global warming and cooling over the past. I guess what you mean is that present human activities are not causing a significant increase in the temperature of the earth.

I think what I would like Rawlings to say is that experiments need to be carried out pursuant to scientific principals and based on those observations, scientific hypothises should be confirmed or thrown out.
