Geochem,
"Some of you guys are starting to sound like the thought police. Open-d has stated that he has doubts about global climate change, the extent of it and its consequences. I suspect that none of you who are berating him have conducted any climate modeling yourselves, and so have elected to believe the dire consequences allegedly being forecast by these models; Open-d has elected not to, as is his right."
He's also made some specific claims about sun's influence on the Earth's climate which are untrue. Specifically, he claims that we do not understand the effects of the Earth's orbit nor the sun's output. It's a ridiculous claim and when this was pointed out his response was:
"One wrench does not a shipyard make."
When one makes a claim, or in open-d's case, several, I'm sure you'll agree that those claims should be backed up with evidence. So why hasn't he or she done that?
