Grunt, Jakewash,

Yep, the piece of paper demo illustrates my thoughts entirely. When people believe the end justifies the means, we get in all sorts of trouble.

The concern I have these days is now that the whole AGW thing is coming undone, that Joe sixpack won't believe anything from any scientists for a long time. This is my biggest concern. Maybe he will have a short memory?

Quoting the IPCC (which is a political body, not a scientific one, IMHO).

I am more than happy to be proven wrong as I am more interested in getting facts than being right or wrong.
