@ RB:
We are straying far from "drumlin," aren't we? The liberties you say I've already lost are not liberties at all, but unconscionable license that has never been approved at any time in any stable society. Those are not the liberties I claim, and I think you know that.
I'm a scientist, too, with a doctoral degree and some 40 years of experience, so I know the value of the scientific method. Your assumption is that it is being applied in a perfectly objective way to a scientific issue that, if correct, will quickly move the way we are governed in the direction of the political philosophy that is held by the overwhelming majority of academic scientists. It doesn't pass the smell test for me. The same gambit was tried a few decades ago with global cooling. Read the dire drumbeat in every issue of SCIENCE or even SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN from that era.
You also haven't addressed how giving more money and authority to the government or "tranferring" it to the Third World will stop the change in temperature. It will certainly accomplish many of the goals of socialism, but it will not affect the temperature at all.
