My post was not directed at you, Realville. Your posts on global warming have often been wrong, IMO, but never insulting. In fact, I very much enjoyed the discussion with you on the "Coal support" thread.

Reasonable people can and do disagree without being disagreeable. My comments were directed at a few people who refuse to debate this issue reasonably.

If nothing else, the recent hacking of the Hadley Climate Center servers and the subsequent revelation that Hadley scientists have destroyed raw data needed to replicate their studies and conspired to shield records from Freedom of Information requests should at the very least end the silly argument that man-made global warming is "settled science."

Excellent post ! Here's some :popcorn: to share with Realville. :biggrin: Or :beer: if you prefer. :eyeroll:
