Its conclusions are in disagreement with the overwhelming opinion of the world scientific community. The Council of the American Physical Society disagrees with this article's conclusions. By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley ... =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= The APS has rebuffed this :- =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= http://www.aps.org/ APS Position Remains Unchanged The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007: "Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate." An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that "Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum." This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/07_1.cfm As found here :- |

An interesting follow on report

We no like...we no listen
So basically....if anyone questions the theories of MMGW..it gets shouted down / swept under the carpet / dismissed.
And you MMGW fanatics (and I use that term deliberately) set out to quash rational, scientific debate. Anything you don't agree with is dismissed out of hand.
And then you wonder why more and more people are questioning the 'science' behind MMGW ! It's because there is no balanced scientific debate, and no ackowledgement of the fact that it is just a theory.....and as such could well indeed be wrong !
(and judging from the summer so far..it is wrong !)
