Opinions on "An Inconvenient Truth" film, to be shown to Yr 10 students
Please note, however, that "An Inconvenient Truth" is science-based
whereas Intelligent Design (ID) is religion cloaked as science.
Global warming, by equal measure, could also be described as religion cloaked as
science (sic)
Absolute ********. Global warming is serious scientific theory backed
up by extensive observation, modelling and data. Intelligent Design
has no serious peer-reviewed research and is little more than
watered-down creationism introduced by American fundamentalists to
circumvent the teaching of Darwinian evolution in biology lessons.
I totally support this last comment. Jenkins and his ilk are simply
using vulgar politically motivated
attacks from the Right to hide the poverty of their "arguments".
I find the standard of debate is higher on UKWW - there only a couple
of fruitcakes dispute GW,
the rest of the discussion is entirely based on AGW and the size of the
human contribution
[on that forum there are not even many who say that the AGW factor is
zero]
A disgraceful event in this countr'ys media occurred with the
re-publication of INVALID temperature
in NZ locations over the last 100 years or so - those concerned know
the data is wrong, having had
the errors pointed out already. They were trying to "establish" that NZ
had not warmed in the last 100
years.
