Do you know what, that makes you a sheep, an ignorant blind fool following the herd to the slaughterhouse, unable and unwilling to think for yourself.<br /><br />You've been well conditioned to conform. It is no wonder you have bought into the myth of man-caused global warming. How many other of life's obvious mistakes have you fallen for? Hopefully you're no longer in any position of influence, if you ever were.<br /><br />Perhaps you were an abused child.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792460740514151650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941560477618551520.post-14408450872744916972010-04-18T12:31:09.180-05:002010-04-18T12:31:09.180-05:00Well, noting makes my opinion any more valid than ...Well, noting makes my opinion any more valid than a "broadly educated" veterinarian. But my opinion does not matter in context of climate science. <br /><br />Whose opinion should we be concerned with? Why, the climate scientists, of course. Not the veterinarians (who are "expertly educated" in the cures, injuries, and pathologies of animals). <br /><br />When you post things like this, Pete, I know for certain that you are not, in fact, a scientist. If you were you would understand - as most of the general public does - that scientists and science professionals, such as veterinarians, actually have a very narrow range of scientific understanding. They are very specifically trained. This is why I would go to a veterinarian if my dog had developed a cough and a climate scientist if I had questions about global warming.<br /><br />I see you learned nothing since last time we corresponded when you were happy to believe anyone as long as they A) had some sort of advanced degree and B) agreed with your preconceived notions. <br /><br />Whoever you are, you're being an obtuse ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941560477618551520.post-13721109231781833432010-04-17T11:05:03.578-05:002010-04-17T11:05:03.578-05:00Anonymous,

At issue was whether the people Pete had cross-posted were qualified enough, and even smart enough, to be taken seriously as commentators on issues like AGW and the the like. <br /><br />And here we have a veterinarian. Last I checked, veterinarians worked on animals, not climate science, politics, or economics. But sure, let's put our faith in anybody, no matter their qualifications, as long as they make us feel good about our misinformation, right Pete?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
