What's causing it, what it means, and what happens next don't appear to me to be quite so settled, nor do I see any of the sides burdened by much in the way of pesky facts.<BR/><BR/>The dinosaur thing, however, is settled-- there's a real museum display showing dinos and men coexisting and everything, and surely nothing would appear in a museum that was not based on absolute facts.Peter Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511193640285760299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021827.post-48489469049386549792007-04-22T13:38:00.000-04:002007-04-22T13:38:00.000-04:00While I appreciate your attempt at evenhandedness,...While I appreciate your attempt at evenhandedness, I'm not really sure there's much of an reputable opposition anymore. When the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, The Committee on the Science of Climate Change, The Federal Climate Change Science Project, the American Metrological Society and most reputable science journals all agree, every one else starts to sound more than a little like flat-earthers. <BR/>Now, I'd like to see us address the, did cavemen ride dinosaurs debate. Now there's some meat for serious scientific discussion!Dittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759621744813019807noreply@blogger.com
