<br><br>I feel like I'm caught playing dogpile on the playground and I'm the guy on the bottom.....<br><br><br>As I said earlier, I am not trying to convince anyone (I am no expert on this subject and I'll be the first to admit it), I just voice an opinion and tell why.....no big deal. <br><br><br><br>Hyak - interesting logic. If memory serves you are using an logical fallacy called "poisoning the well" - in other words, attaching something that may have been shown to be wrong (predictions of a coming ice age) to something else (global warming being caused by man). It was not a convincing tactic in high school debate, and it is not convincing now either. <br>

Hey - I'm just sharing thoughts and ideas. No intent to jump on your body, and no expectation that you'll change your opinion. I just liked participating in this sort of discussion to test my own thinking by putting it out there for others to challenge (or amplify). <br><br>Ever since reading Godel's proof in college, which for me raised questions even about "mathametical certainty," i've tried to be open to various interpretations of the world. YMMV.
