Where do the Wright brothers fit into this little scenario? Neither obviously. But they were pioneers in a field that has now flourished over the last century... in a field that had not only visable results, but also was crutial in the advancement of mankind.
Climatologists? They have only in recent decades had a voice, moreso now than ever. But no visable results that people can sink their teeth into (don't give me the hockey stick bunk...) And worse yet, a BLOGGER noticed NASA screwed up data!! Kind of makes you wonder about their collective acumen when no one else in the scientific community noticed the problem? Hell, if I see an anomoly like the jump ~ 2000 I would have been digging hard to ensure their data was right to begin with... But hey, that is just little old me... a number cruncher with a high school diploma.
I am more with Bingo than not. Nothing is "proven" in my mind. Not even close. I certainly have concerns though, but not where the current mindset is focused.
And hey, if anyone is really, really concerned about CO2 emissions.... you can always stop breathing. THAT emission is definitely man-made.
