re: #127 Obdicut

What would you expect them to say? I’ve had this argument before, scientists are no different than anyone else. They all have their biases built in, the longer they work in an area the more positive they become. People are people.

For example, In 1990 when I received my commission I was sent to a Army division HQ to work in the Intel shop until my clearance came through. I had Colonels and Majors, people who looked at the intel for decades, explain to me on an almost daily basis how the soviets were going to crush us because we were moving to a lighter style of force. In less than a years time the soviets were gone.

Maybe I’m overly skeptical but when someone tells me their 90% sure of something I know they can’t possibly fully understand it sets off bells. Here’s a question, if they know everything why do they continue to study? Where do all these new breakthroughs come from? Like I said, I take everything with a massive grain of salt. History is replete with situations where we were sure we knew what we were talking about and it turned out to be completely wrong.

I’m not denying the existence of warming, I just have a problem with declaring it’s completely humanities fault when we can’t possibly know that.
