Attack of the Theocrats!
blitzfantasy, consider each anti-rolan quip in its original context. What was it I called "a load of bull"? It was the claim that "There is no argument that a doubling of CO2 concentrations should give rise to a temperature increase of about 1 degree K", when in fact there's no argument it should be about 3 K and definitely at least 2 K, and quite plausibly more than 4 K. And "models don't work" lies deserve to be called lies simply because they are lies. No one is being mean to rolan for having different opinions, but for stating things that are simply plain wrong and passing them off as fact. People are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.
