That is the danger, I suppose, of using one words answers. I was not clear and you indeed make my point.

Phlogiston was not initially discredited when Lavoisier proposed that a gas was required for combustion in 1780. In fact, for over 50 years people denied oxidization in the face of the steadily accumulating data. That is exactly my point.

Unlike Chemistry, which is indeed a mature science, climatology, remains an immature science in spite of giant leaps over the past 30 years. It was a mere 40 years ago that some of the same scientists were proposing the impending emergence of an ice age.

But I give in. Instead of questioning everything, Anon should have said what? Question everything except current climate science?

Like I said, for me it does not matter, wasting energy and polluting are wrong regardless of climate science.

No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? George Orwell
