Wot? No gratuitous Kachoong! photo?

you could have done your part by not buying a computer....

Some scientists, being human beings and citizens, will go out on a limb and suggest policy changes. We certainly free to accept or reject them. That said, if you've read the IPCC science sections and talked to the the authors and editors, you'll know that they go to great, sometimes ridiculous, lengths to avoid anything that even looks like a policy suggestion. They are incredibly aware about how much scrutiny they are under.

This is where I have a problem listening to the conservative voices. Most of them have chosen to attack the science, which, if you were knee deep in it is hard to refute. I've argued with several conservatives acquaintances that they'd be much better positioned to basically accept the scientific consensus and place more of their efforts in controlling policy. I think a lot of people would be happier about that than watching their futile attempts at plugging the leaking dike with fingers and toes. It would also be a more intelligent strategic move. I, for one, would welcome more reasoned conservative voices in the discussion if for no other reason than to provide balance.

One thing I'd like to see in this entire 'discussion' is a separation of the science versus policy. There are a lot of valid questions and concerns about what, if anything, we can/should do about warming trends. However, I'm really tired of listening to the diatribes of amateur scientists on teh intertubes who clearly didn't pass high school science class but now see themselves as well-informed scientific critics.

My classification of math proofs is something like: a) You understand the proposition and have a good idea how to prove it. b) You understand the proposition, but have no immediate idea how to prove it, or struggle a great deal to figure it out. c) You not only don't know how to prove the proposition, you have no idea what it means.

Maybe I could make an application that would scan my posts while you type in your post to avoid the horror of redundancy. That ought to keep you out of trouble for awhile.

Maybe you could post a list of all your YT posts to keep this unfortunate incident from re-occurring.
