Regarding the issue of whether some «mainstream» scientists are «alarmist» in their discussions of global warming, it is well to remember that, in any controversy, scientific or otherwise, there will be
extremists at both ends of the spectrum.
I am also tired
of individuals referring to a series
of disparate, but inter-related phenomena as «Global Warming»; this phrase continuously serves as a convenient lightning rod for
extremists at both
ends of the political
spectrum...
