Heard that all before. It's related to geological time scales, most often, and usually not particularly relevant to the current debate. While I DO feel that many of the proponents of Climate Change have been guilty of some serious scientific misconduct in their handling of the issue and their treatment of opposing views (which have been shameful and contrary to all principles of scientific discourse at times), their evidence and projections (even though based on mathematical models that admittedly contain more than a few assumptions and must be updated all the time) seem quite solid.
But my training is in statistics, not climate science and I've not yet found it worthwhile to delve more than superficially into climate modeling (although I AM slightly familiar with weather forecast models from chaos theory studies ... VERY different animal!).
So I watch the models and predictions change with interest. And hope that there are no more incidents of outright suppression of dialogue on either side, either in the press or in the scientific community. I was glad to hear about that "Rapid Response Force" mentioned. I hope it is used to present EVIDENCE, not to belittle their opposition.
