Who is a British judge to replace the peer review process in science & say that he knows what 'the common ground' is on this possibility?<BR/><BR/>I think what it exposes is the legal system where certain individuals wield unlected power and quite a bit of arrogance to go with it, with occasional impact on broader issues like this (or for instance the rulings in the US on the need to balance teaching about evolution with creationism - upheld in the State of Kansas for tthe last century and as recently as a ruling several years ago - although there has been a ruling against this in the State of Ohio). <BR/><BR/>Looking at Justic Potter's history he actually seems to be a 'government basher' (rather than any sort of climate change reactionary) and this is probably the real story?John Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799770191061315053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6527171481755503539.post-18500225120073017492007-10-12T02:45:00.000-07:002007-10-12T02:45:00.000-07:00What rubbish.

He never raises it except as a realistic possibility.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009819005678088817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6527171481755503539.post-44848260155878791142007-10-11T05:45:00.000-07:002007-10-11T05:45:00.000-07:00I agree John.It's the aim of the film that matters...I agree John.<BR/><BR/>It's the aim of the film that matters and it's (not so distant) basis in truth.<BR/><BR/>I do worry that stories like this devolve the great work that is being done in building the case that climate change is a problem, and the subsequent solutions offered.Luke Tippinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562030936536236351noreply@blogger.com
