| The following is an analysis of a similarly misleading chart from Christy's congressional testimony, of which shares some of the very same issues as the chart that has been provided above.: Quote:

NO! People who strive and obtain a PhD are a special breed. The amount of intelligence, ambition, time and money spent to get a PhD are almost insurmountable. These folks are held to the highest scrutiny by their peers and authorities. The list of their achievements (publishing, research, leadership, communication skills) speaks for itself. Our daughter-in-law has a PhD and we have seen first-hand how difficult it is to reach that status. We should applaud those who go after the highest education the world of academia has to offer....and achieve it. | |

It will be good if we can have the open public debate on climate we never had before the liberals declared the issue "settled", solely for reasons of politics.

What is the point of a "public" debate when 90%+ of the public do not have the education or knowledge to adequately debate the topic? The issue is "settled" not because of politics but because of science....the only possible result of a "public debate" would be to muddy the science with a bunch of NON scientists offering their opinions on a topic that they have no clue about. | |

The public needs to hear the debate if there are public policy decisions to be made, or you just wanna throw representative government out the window entirely? Should we all just bow down and give homage to our betters while we throw away our freedom? | |

Maybe we can consider gravity settled, since predictions based on our theories seem to be working. Is climate science ever going to make a prediction that works? |
