Just one more crack in the armor...

Interesting article on 60 more European scientists that dissent with global warming...particularly interesting is the fact that many of these scientists are UN IPCC scientists (scroll down to the end of the letter for the list of signers and their qualifications). Also, pay attention to the other article links below the list of signers.

One particularly interesting link is this one from the US Senate...

Man-Made Global Warming is something that could not prevail in a court of law...there are too many holes. Likewise, "consensus" is something that scientist do not deal in. Is there a "consensus" on gravity? Or on the sun being at the center of our universe? Or on any number of other things? No...consensus has NO place in science...disagreement about observed phenomena--yes...but "consensus" that dictates the direction of science--no. The physical world that we can observe is larger than us...we merely observe, hypothesize, and experiment...we do not have the privilege (or the ability, for that matter) to force the physical world as a whole to behave in a way that is consistent with our every desire or whim.

BTW...I keep hearing that these temperature fluctuations are consistent with MMGW...where else in science is that phenomenon observable? I'm pretty sure I remember from HS science class that if water is heated, it heats up...or if air is heated, it heats up...I don't remember that the temperature of the water or air fluctuated wildly.

Pay attention to both the diversity of the scientists as well as the diversity of sources linked at the end of the article. To simply dismiss all of the scientists (the 60 as well as the 650) as well as the linked articles as merely "bought and paid for" oil company shills (and that would include the UN IPCC) assumes just a bit too much power on the part of the oil companies, I think. The diversity of informational sources strengthens the corroboration of the information itself...really, this information is much bigger than the oil companies. But believe what you must...I just don't buy it.
