Any person living in Dunedin still believing in global warming illustrates perfectly the degree of firm fixedness with which these ostriches have their heads buried in the sand.

Little Will: “He was not a scientist. Tell me what he published.”

Being a scientist is a matter of training you keep on going off in in irrelevant directions.

I’m sure all those molecular biologist, histologists chemists, biochemists that work in the path labs that test the tissue samples (you didn’t really believe that doctors do the test like in House did you?) would be pleased to hear that you have unilaterally demoted them to amateur status because they don’t and are never likely to publish.

By the way dhmo don’t take too much notice of your brother and friends . Dunedinites are compulsive liars when it comes to talking about their weather.
I should know I’ve lived there 8 years and trust me it’s perishing.
Try TVNZ weather.

“How much they are paid is NOT the issue, one issue is independence.

The other is the fact that you attempted to create the impression that Crichton despite being a novelist which helped him to be independent (and a physician) was in not in fact a scientist i.e and anthropoligist. Since this is the obvious source of your information you cannot claim ignorance.

Then there is the rest of your failed attempt to poison the well. If the science is beyond you at least have the good manners to remain silent.”

Yeah, business is a huge source of income for pure research ….. not. They want to apply the results that can be commercialised, that’s usually about as far as it goes.

He was not a scientist. Tell me what he published.

SJT "The pay scales for the CSIRO would not attract a single MBA." How much they are paid is NOT the issue, one issue is independence.

Mack: My neighbour, on a holiday to NZ , slipped on some “global warming” and broke his arm.
In these days of Ocupational Health and safety, shouldn’t Global Warming come with a warning?
