“Politicians should state their honest intentions”.

I know. We are inclined to be a little naive or idealistic at times. But the point remains that we should push for more transparency on green politics.

I thought this a brilliant analysis until I read “Politicians should state their honest intentions”.

Then, I must admit, I burst out laughing…

FYI: Ernst-Georg Beck Dipl. Biol. is a Biology and Bio-Technology Professor from the Merian-Schule. Which is a “High-School” in German, but would be the equivilent of a Vocational College here in North America, and happens to be a school for Women. He is also the author of a paper on CO2 measurements and concentration re-construction.

Just for transparency.

FYI, not only are a substantial majority of those signers not climate scientists, some of them aren’t even scientists. Dipl. Beck, e.g., is a high school teacher.

By the way, on the egregiously wrong “no warming since 1998″ claim, see here.

Nice job. A reasoned, honest approach. There seems to be so few of us these days who are willing to say, “You know what, I just don’t know.”

Having a limited understanding of the world around us is a defining characteristic of the human experience. For some reason our cultures have steered away from that basic humility and now everyone is required to be “in the know” about everything. It is perfectly reasonable to admit confusion and uncertainty about a topic, and a far smarter thing to do than to bodly proclaim the “science is done”
