Re: Al Gore where are you?

["Roland Moore" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As everyone knows science is broken up into different disciplines. A
biologist wouldn't be the one to go to for a question about physics, no more
than a plumber would be the one to go to for a good cut of meat. However all
have their opinions on the subject, valid or not. If the "science" were more
focused on the things we all could agree on, like controlling air pollution
in general, and not some sky is falling prognostication, I think everyone
could more easily get behind these efforts without so much of this back and
forth BS.
