Re: Three Gorges Dam |
I'll second Canie's "We also stay away from such overly zealous religious subjects in this forum.". But, I found some of the science content that you posted to be interesting, some of it is probably correct, some of it is partially correct, and some of it is just wrong. The problem is that a lot of it is wrong and needs to be corrected. I need to work this morning but will take a shot at some corrections later; Canie already commented on some, and maybe some of the others will comment on other parts. One of the things that concern me about the USA is how the population, scientists and non-scientists, evaluate information. I am a research scientist and we are encouraged to do "public outreach". We should encourage non-scientists who are interested in science but try and steer them towards the facts/sientific consensus etc. We could get in some interesting discussions here if you are open minded and willing to back off from ideas that just don't make sense. This reminds me of the debate within the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. These are earth scientists, probably many with Master's degrees, some with Ph.Ds. But, some large proportion don't believe that man is significantly altering climate. Some on this page don't believe it either. I'm a member of American Geophysical Union. Most of the climate scientists are AGU members, almost all (99%?) of "real" climate scientists agree that man is causing serious climate change and that it is likely it will get severe within this century. AGU took official positions on climate change/global warming 5 or 10 years ago...while AAPG gave it "Journalism" award to Michael Crichton for 2 fiction novels, one of which said global warming was a hoax.
