What great way to wakeup!
An honest and impressive politician.
But wait there is more.
He is Liberal.
So nice to see truth has not evaded them all.

Well Anthony you have finally revealed yourself when you said;.

Opinions or conclusions about a scientific issue that have no basis in science cannot be 'genuine'.

So therefore if a conclusion does not agree with your conclusion it cannot be scientific.

No point in discussing this further.

Bazz,
What utter nonsense..
At NO point have I required a conclusion to agree with mine.
Rather, I require a conclusion about science to agree with the science.
If my conclusions turned out to not agree with the science then, in a heartbeat, I would acknowledge that my conclusion was wrong and I would change it.
That's a hint by the way.
But on the other hand if you really want to bang on with an 'opinion' or 'conclusion' that is entirely at odds with established science, then go ahead.
But when it's all said and done you just end up looking silly.
It's okay to be wrong.
It's not okay to persist in being wrong in the face of established science.

I get both a kick and a grin out of the link.
While not strictly about this subject the thing is it is!
Very much so.
Not all, but the most strident deniers seem to have read every thing they know from the paper the fish and chips came in.

Hi Belly,
Great post.
I agree, the article is highly relevant.
We've got our fair share of Gallileo wannabes who end up looking more like King Canute.
