And you're qu...Thank you for the link CFACT...<br /><br />And you're quite right about the ad hominum. It was a convenience.<br /><br />As for Monckton's "report," it's hooey. <br /><br />Probably the most damning thing about it is that the Republicans either couldn't or wouldn't bring in a single scientist to testify. <br /><br />But his fake-Lordship seems also to have intentionally misread the IPCC data and confused their projected increase in short wave radiation with what's called 'radiative forcing.' <br /><br />He miscalculated -- and not just misinterpreted, but simply did the math wrong -- the rate of forcing from possible albedo change.... and his comments on levels of CO2 in the ocean depend on his not understanding (and on Congress not understanding) the degree to which ocean layers do and do not mix with each other.<br /><br />He's been making up his own data for CO2 projections in his other recent statements and, most interesting, has also been simply fudging what the IPCC has actually reported.<br /><br />For starters. <br /><br />So, let's let the scientists do their work, take their best advice, and figure out what to do next.Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-77506031800861027502010-05-10T09:20:47.898-05:002010-05-10T09:20:47.898-05:00Rather than attack Lord Monckton personally you sh...Rather than attack Lord Monckton personally you should evaluate his testimony on the merits.<br />http://cfact.eu/2010/05/09/lord-monckton-testifies-before-congress/CFACT EU (-Ed)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317109201059728121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-76104219490202934712010-05-08T22:25:13.486-05:002010-05-08T22:25:13.486-05:00I take back what I said about wanting to hear &quo...I take back what I said about wanting to hear "Kevin's" "opinion".DanBackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365782450039434389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-77508122608434878902010-05-08T17:38:12.516-05:002010-05-08T17:38:12.516-05:00Gore actually called hearings at which scientists ...Gore actually called hearings at which scientists appeared... you were probably only about 10 at the time, but I remember them pretty clearly. Real scientists, real concern.<br /><br />The rest of this has become a marketing war funded by billionaires. Science and the truth always lose to good marketing.<br /><br />And here you are supporting the Koch Brothers. Have they been buying Dairy Queen stock?
