Still, JPN, you have to respect what Newell had to say, especially from a purely scientific point of view. He seemed to me to be a bewildered researcher who was doing his job and got hamstrung for doing it right.


And in case you're wondering about his credentials...

I'd be very interested to read anything else he's written on the subject. I checked on Amazon.com but it doesn't appear as though he has any major published works. I've logged his name though and I'll go looking for more later.


I suppose my biggest problem with the scientific side of the debate on global warming is that I've never seen both sides talk about it at once. Most of what I've seen (granted, very little - it isn't a topic I've researched in much depth) is extremely one-sided. It would be illuminating to find a debate/discussion/meeting of the minds between the "naysayers" and the "alarmists" - preferably the more moderate ones from both sides to avoid useless discourse. Does anyone know if anything like that exists out there?
