I agree with what Chuck is saying here. This debate isn't going to change the minds of those who have already formed conclusions. Then again there have been the posts from members welcoming the information because they haven't had access to one side or the other's information. Since there seems to be more than just those actually debating who are interested I say let the debate continue. There have been many threads on this site for which I had no personal interest. In those cases I would just note the subject and delete the message without reading it. Those of us who aren't interested in the debate could just do this. Chuck Hards wrote:
Nobody on this list (that I'm aware of, anyway, my apologies if someone here is doing the science) is a practicing environmental scientist with the means to conduct meaningful research on the causes of global warming. Any "debate" here has always been just a case of dueling Websites, always carefully chosen to bolster the poster's personal stance. It goes nowhere, nobody's mind is ever changed. You may as well tell someone that they practice their religion incorrectly. See how far you get when you challenge someone's belief system.
