I was taught (and I REALLY try to) always assess if the data upon which I am basing my choices on is valid, and further, that I am making the choice from logic, not emotion. <br /><br />Generally I succeed. <br /><br />In the above case, I am sure of it. <br /><br />Data does not match the AGW folks wishes. The earth is not, at this time, warming. Nor, again, have any of the models actually been shown to be even close to what is, you know, real.

You and I may agree on many things, and we may never agree on some things. On the things we agree on, we are both right, except when we are both wrong. On the things we disagree on, one of us is right and the other wrong. We can’t be like Major Frank Burns (M*A*S*H) who said “I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong”.<br /><br />The trick is in knowing when one is right and admitting when one is wrong.<br /><br />Dale<br />DTWNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874818524204797652noreply@blogger.com
