We need all the level-headed help we can get. I think the wheels have pretty much come off the AGW bandwagon, but there are some loud, apparently ruthless people still desperately pushing hard. The facts are against them, but they still create a lot of noise and confusion. Fortunately, they can't handle calm rational questions, and often provide entertainment in a bizarre way. Sort of like a cageful of parrots - lots of repetitive squawking and flying feathers, but no comprehension. And not very convincing. Thanks for your post. Bill Ward

I've got my fingers in a different pie that would solve your newsgroup's problem, namely learning how to think well (or, at least, better). > I think the wheels have >pretty much come off the AGW bandwagon, hmm...That's not my impression by observing what is a commonplace opinion. Somehow, it seemed that the concept became a "public fact", accepted by everybody, sometime last summer. But I couldn't backtrace to any one thing that pushed it over the credibility line. >but there are some loud, >apparently ruthless people still desperately pushing hard.

I've spent a couple of years studying whether there were any rational methods of explaining difficult and complicated matters to people who are unable to think about certain things. /BAH > >Thanks for your post.
