Originally posted by lesmore49 I think that the results of the Copenhagen Conference have demonstrated that there is a credibility factor among the public ...when it comes to climate change causes, especially as promoted, by some who label themselves as environmentalists. Please note I said 'some', not all.
I don't think that many question that there is a good case for climate change occurring , but then climate change, is a naturally occurring phenomena in this world of ours.
There have been just too many 'errors' with computer models, scientists disagreeing with other scientists, arrogance from some scientists and particularly self appointed experts, who refuse to discuss the issue any further because in their minds...what they believe is a final 'fact' and therefore is immune from challenge.
I have difficulty with rigid attitudes . Having slogged long and hard through two universities (successfully), many years ago, I was taught to be cynical, to research , to determine the credibility of evidence....never to accept so called established views of thinking, unless it was credible and that theories were backed up.
I have difficulty with those who do strongly maintain that 'facts' have been determined and that is that. Kind of reminds me of how 'facts' were decided centuries ago.
Nicely stated, IMO a reasoned view.
