The comparison to intelligent design is quite apt really because they behave in the same way. There is a lot of talk, lots of attention, but little science behind it and when challenged on this they resort to accusations of a scientific establishment shutting them out. They also like to dress it up as an open discussion of ideas as if that's what decides what is true. Science isn't an open discussion of ideas in which open minded people challenge each other and all views are equally valid however much they wish it was.

In the end there isn't much reason not to believe The Royal Society and NASA know better than people who have little grounding in the subject.
Very strange responses from you, Damien. I have already provided a scientific fact for you, which you have conveniently ignored. Instead of making it personal and shouting me down, why not answer the question I put? Which is that the amount of carbon absorbed into the atmosphere is within normal parameters, currently standing at 0.04%. So how can that be linked to warming?
