On The Same Basis ...

YOUR correspondent Ron Firth (Yorkshire Post, April 1) asks that the extremely important subject of global warming should be publicly aired with equal time being given to both sides of the argument.Not a chance, I am afraid. The one thing that marks out those who believe that mankind is solely to blame for climate change and should be penalised for it, is their determination to prevent the contrary argument from being heard. If they were so convinced that the evidence is consistent only with their own viewpoint, than I would have thought that they would be only too willing to participate in a proper debate and show the rest of us up for the fools they believe us to be. Instead, they dismiss every opposing opinion as not worth wasting time on.Which makes one wonder whether they are really as confident as they claim to be.
On exactly the same basis .... ever wondered why evolutionary big-shots like Jones, Dawkins &Attenborough categorically refuse to debate the scientific base of their pet hypotheses?
