It's very often the case that people who use name-calling as part of their
argument aren't very sure of themselves.

Thanks. I was wondering why Alistair has been bombarding me with such
inflammatory name-calling, and now I know. I only suspected before. :-)

I am sure of myself and , when TIMFRU invents a time machine, he can
go back in time to take the measurements for himself and prove the GW
brigade wrong. I won't hold my breath.

Judson, I realise that my belief in GW is as strong as your scepticism
but is founded in observable fact and not in ignorance or scepticism.
I do not think it is too late to save the world but I do think that,
without support from the entire population of the world, I will be
able to sunbath outside my flat in 2050 on christmas day with the
waves lapping around my feet on the beach (currently 200 feet above
sea level).

As for name calling? Calling you a worshipper of a minor Midianite
storm god is an accurate observation. Look up where Yahweh came from
on Wikipedia for yourself and you will see what I am getting at. By
the way, It was a novel by James Branch Cabell that appraised me of
that one.
