>This article merely points out that editors with GW agendas have been banned from editing the GW page. This says nothing about the accuracy of the GW page on wikipedia. It's a red herring in the context of this discussion.

What it points out is that the wikis were dominated by at least 16 alarmists from 2003 until their dismissal in 2010. You are well within your rights to believe that the self-enforcing wikis have managed to clear out all their propoganda in a few months and that no other alarmists exist to promote their agenda on those sites, however, citing them as "fact" is inappropriate.

>You're happy with that statement? Sorry, I'm not smart enough to analyze all the data and come up with my own opinion, so I'm going to believe the majority of the really smart scientists who maintain GW is real and not the minority who claim it's false:

Science is not a popularity contest. Facts are not subject to majority rule.



>Given your opinion on shale mining, offshore drilling, etc. your opinion on GW is not surprising. Again, we'll have to agree to disagree here.

You have presented no factual information worth considering in the formation of my opinion. I've asked you to back up your statements with facts and you've offered unsupported anecdotes, unreliable wikis and personal belief. Given your own words "I'm going to believe the majority of the really smart scientists", it's clear that you're willing to put your faith in those you regard as more clever than yourself. I am not. I will question and research and come to my own conclusions because history has proven to me that frauds come in all shapes and sizes and the bigger the prize the more willing the corrupt are to attempt to steal it. The prize for AGW is global power and trillion$. The cost is liberty, right down to the air we exhale.
