[Terrapreta] Earthen Kiln Conjecture

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Kevin,

I basically look at criticism of the IPCC and its reports by a few people as "hogshit".  There is fervent support from the vast majority of 1500+ member scientists involved with the IPCC.  Their considered opinion outweighs the radically different views of the few.  You do not like consensus, but there it is, 90-97% sure, not absolutely, just high probability.  That is bluntly stated, and the thought is built/supported by high probability estimates ("90-97% sure") from 1500+ IPCC member scientists (higher statistical significance) versus the claims of a handful of nay-sayers (lower statistical significance).  They "cherry-pick" data to try and make it say what they want to believe it says, because they can find no one who agrees with them from the outset.

I think conspiracies are a game in the realm of the few and the financially incentivized, or with "scientist-come-wannabes", not of the many and the experienced, and not of the independent.  Independent support of AGW is evident.  Criticism of AGW is bought.

Regards,

SKB

  Thanks Kevin.

  I'm not a conspiracy person (basically, I don't believe that the people 
  of a mentality to bring off such things ultimately have the competence 
  to do so), but this is all beginning to look like some sort of grand 
  scheme to foist GW on us as a distraction from the real problems of the 
  world.

  Please, no one argue with me, I yield in advance.

  Jim
