I am as confused, if not more, as I was when we started.

It makes me wonder where the problem lies. I think there is a gap in the way that public gets information, particularly concerning science. I do keep up to date, but who is to really tell how good the data is and more importantly how good the conclusion is.

Although I'm slamming somewhat on the anti-AGW side, it doesn't mean that I won't accept any truth. And I even thought for a moment how similar some of this is to the UFO saga. Misinformation, disinformation, agendas, lies, etc. Sounds familiar doesn't it??

It is one of those things that I can't verify myself. I can't go out and perform the experiments, collect the data, and so forth. So I'm resigned to someone else telling me what is going on. And that has proved more difficult than I could imagine. Maybe we should have all the scientists drink truth serum before opening their mouths.
