Greetings from Ontario
Hi everyone. My name is Mike. I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm a retired computer guy. My first introduction into the possible myth of AGW came from reading Michael Crichton's book State of Fear, published in 2004. Global Warming and climate change serve as the central theme of the book and he manages to paint a very scary picture about the psuedo-science behind AGW.
Years later, I don't consider myself a sceptic - just more informed than the average person. My best source of information has been the website http://friendsofscience.org/, as well as Lawrence Solomon, the author of the book 'The Deniers'. I'm currently reading The Hockey Stick Illusion (Climategate and the corruption of Science) by A.W. Montford. The politicization of climate study has to end. Public Policy can not be made based on grade eight computer models and Hollywood science. |

Welcome Mike.
I agree that politics needs to stop corrupting science research. By the way you are permitted to include a link to your Blog in the signature box. Take care. 
It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |

RE: Greetings from Ontario
Hello and Welcome Mike.
I look forward to your posts / thoughts, any friend of science is most welcome here. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken. The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that "they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions. |
