Floyd: (I think you got the meanings of subjective and objective reversed here. "Subjective" is that which is particular to a given individual; taking place in the mind of an individual (i.e. "the subject") while "Objective" pertains to material objects supposedly distinct from the mind of the perceiver. With this change, I am in full agreement.)Tee hee, sorry, how embarrassing! I blush.
Floyd: The argument that "there is still a debate" about this topic is based on a willful avoidance of the available evidence. I have consistently found that opponents of global warning efforts display behaviors that are common in drug addicts and alcoholics, particularly the denial that anything bad is happening. This denial state is probably based on a fear of helplessness, and is a reduction of the thinking processes to an almost infantile state.
Next time Stuart insists that the scientific community is divided over the global warming issue, or (as he often does) if he insists that global warming is just the apocalyptic nonsense of a few disenfranchised lefties, I will get him to type in "global warming" on his web browser and have him count those entries that support the theories and those that deny the theories. I imagine he will be suprised.
None.
