> RUSSELL! you know very well that GW is very OT. No. I certainly do not know that. Look at the site. Look at the nature of the articles/papers and the science involved. It is always possible to take ANY scientific subject and arbitrarily deem it untalkable about. This may almost (almost) be acceptable if the treatement is non scientific and not 'an truth' [tm] (ie mishandling science), but when the content is aiming, with the best abilities of the informed and competent proponents, to deal with the subject scientifically then hopefully we haven't fallen to that level yet. But, maybe we have. What other fully & truly scientifically TREATABLE subject when truly and fully scientifically TREATED is disallowed for discussion here. Note that the one other which I can think of which could qualify is claimed not to be scientific by the holders of the 'other position' in both cases so is reasonably well (only reasonably well) disqualified. Note that this is simply a request for rational and reasonable treatment of a rational and reasonable and often very badly treated subject. Did you look at the article re Norman Borlaug - hardly related to GW. per se. Do you know who he is? Do you know what he did? Do you know why he got the Nobel Peace prize way back in 1970 and why the Nobel committee said he had saved the lives of 1 million people with his hardest of hard science? Is that verboten?
