Theories have to discount the body of knowledge that we don't currently possess

alcaray — 9/23/2004 6:34:48 PM (archived)

because we don't possess it.

PS: the ozone hole does seem to be doing better. And krill are not dying off so much. I think it was a pretty good gamble. And it did not destroy the economy or outlaw refridgeration and styrofoam etc, as some claimed it would.

        Obviously I did not dispute any such thing. Research good. Pollution bad. So? (n/t) - alcaray - 9/24/2004 6:12:37 PM

        Okay, I'll admit the Earth's temperature has been rising, on average, since the last ice Age - REB - 9/24/2004 5:32:52 PM
        
        So REB is the new spokesman for the right on the topic of GW on HZ? (n/t) - alcaray - 9/24/2004 4:59:46 PM
        
        The search for the scientific truth is neither left nor right. - REB - 9/24/2004 5:45:42 PM
        
        You said that GW was an unproven theory. - alcaray - 9/24/2004 6:17:20 PM

      - There is evidence of Global Warming, but I have also seen evidence we may be heading for an ice age. - Whacko REB - 9/24/2004 11:39:33 AM
