Revision as of 03:29, July 2, 2007
, 03:29, July 2, 2007→False claims of consensus?: if you know so much, how about doing some writing?
But during the whole discussion we have had about this subject, you haven't answered anything to my enquiryes to why you are willing to use that source of yours, when there is no citation to it, no reasearh to be found and it's so old that it can't be in anyway considered to be representing the current views on the subject.

:I'm not going to answer all your points, because this is not a debate page. We are trying to improve the global warming article, that's all.
:Oreskes did not read 928 articles but only their abstracts. And she is not a disinterested analyst but an advocate of "action" on global warming.
:But if you have some information of the absolute number of scientists (or a percentage from a survey) who give partial or full credence to the theory of [[anthropogenic global warming]], that would be good to have. Please supply a summary, with a reference.
:However, that properly belongs in [[Politics of global warming]] because polls and surveys are not science. Science is facts, along with theories which explain them. (Note that a 'model' which has been tweaked to fit a period of a few decades is not a theory.)
:And if you ''really'' want to help, you can explain all about [[albedo]], [[cosmic ray]]s, [[sunspot]]s, [[solar variation]], and the various natural [[climate cycle]]s. We need to know about these first, before we can judge the extend of the human contribution. Would you care to help in this way? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 23:29, 1 July 2007 (EDT)
