Polar bear situation not as dire as we thought...

by the way GT, I was curious as to how you quoted me and then ranted. Are you saying that I am incorrect about my description of how CO2 behaves in terms of retaining heat?

Bevo Incognito, here is a New York Times Editorial from Al Gore in 2006. Notice the first line:

Al Gore on tipping point

dheiman, I direct you to this:

The same Roy Spencer who espouses intelligent design/creationism?

Forget about "ulterior motives". It doesn't seem that Mr. Spencer accepts some rather basic aspects of science.

dheiman, I don't care if you have, or have not met, Spencer. I don't care if you and he are eloping to a state where gay marriage is legal.

What I care about is the science. You apparently are wowed and swayed by Spencer's credentials and awards, and they are impressive. His science, his experiements, his conclusions are not based on those awards, though. Everything Spencer does has to pass the rigors of science. He doesn't get a free-pass b/c of his degrees, which is what you seem to be giving him.

From what I've seen, Spencer's specific science regarding global warming is not, shall we say, very rigorous. Of course, his bible-based views on creationism don't necessarily mean his science on global warming is wrong - it is his science on global warming that will decide that.

But it seems that about the only anti-global warming scientists that people can find are also those who subscribe to creationism or right-wing causes. To me, that makes me question their credibility on this issue.

My rebuttal is that I don't care if you have, or have not met, Spencer personally. That is irrelevent.

You seemed to think it important to make clear that you two are not gay lovers, though. Hmm. Why is that?

And you are again wrong when you say that I dismiss Spencer because of his beliefs. I explained that rather well in the above post. I dismiss Spencer on this topic b/c his science is weak.
