After your last few posts I ceased to regard you seriously. You didn't discredit the hockey stick, you just quoted John Daly. Who's John Daly? A talented amateur - no more and no less. Why should I believe his arguments? I don't.
What he does show - unquestionably - is that real scientists on all sides of the argument are aware of the historical evidence, of solar variations, of wobbles in the earth's orbit and movement, of volcanoes, etc. They have not sorted it all out. That's why there's so much dispute.
Partisans on all sides seize on whatever supports their views - on the Left evidence that unrestrained economic activity is bad, on the Right that it's good. Disgusting.
Me? I think it highly unlikely that a massive discharge of unwanted byproducts of industrial activity into the atmosphere, ground, and oceans, and unrestrained destruction of natural habitat to make room for houses and malls, will turn out to be a good thing for humanity.
I didn't discredit the hockey stick. You're right about that. Reputable scientists have though. If John Daly is just a talented amatuer he has the sense to rely on others research and common sense at least. Why did I post the link? Because the hockey stick theory was accepted uncritically by the environmental movement to the extent it was adopted by greens with no regard to whether or not it had been proven. That's characteristic of the green movement hence my reference to a religion.
Your contention that CO2 will create environmental dsisaster is just that, a contention. The science is unsettled but the left has no problem using it to create fear in the general public. By the way, CO2 levels have been as high as 5 times the current level in the past so the contention that current levels spell doom are overstated.
One other note. I never took you seriously since I know by your posts your a true believer and true believers can't be reasoned with. Have a nice liberal day.
