[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2644404, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3] Not to be picky, but your link went to Snope's "What's New" page. Here is the link to [URL="http://www.snopes.com/politics/science/coleman.asp"]John Coleman on Global Warming[/URL]. Now, going beyond that, are the Snope's folks scientists? Even that article above does indicate that they acknowledge that John Coleman was involved in the meteorological field over a six decade time period. Don't you think that gives him some credibility, especially since he didn't adhere to the "not global warming" philosophy over most of that time period? This brings to mind the subject of "peer reviewed" scientific "premises," to which I have a question. How do we know that those peer reviewed articles were reviewed by peers that were of the exact same mind as the original premise of which they reviewed? In other words, if like-minded "scientists" review each others' work, how do we know that it isn't a white wash? [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
