  • Survey: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory
    Michael Asher, science blog at the Daily Tech, Aug 29, 2007 http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8641
    Note: the survey in question went unpublished and some pretty significant criticisms have been made against it or related work by the survey's author (not Michael Asher). I (who likewise am not Michael Asher!) got a little confused about which work by the survey's author was in question but I dug far enough to run into the significant questions). Anyway, part of the problem was that Benny Peiser had already done the work. SO, click here to skip down to Peiser's piece.

    Peiser (homepage http://www.staff.livjm.ac.uk/spsbpeis/) is a social anthropologist at John Moores University in Liverpool, UK. Counters claim by Naomi Oreskes in Science 2004 that there is unanimous "scientific consensus" on anthropogenic causes of recent global warming. Science refused to publish Peiser's response on grounds that his points had been "widely dispersed on the internet." Nature also refused to publish.

    See also his "Update: The Oreskes abstracts" at http://www.staff.livjm.ac.uk/spsbpeis/Oreskes-abstracts.htm Peiser has posted all documents and abstracts listed in the ISI database under the key words “global climate change” (for the period 1993 – 2003) so that you can check for yourself.

  • Transcript: Sen. Jay Rockefeller on Fox News Sunday
    Interview choice corrected - I had a July 2003 interview here but this is the right one.
    In this interview, Rockefeller claims that Bush had said that there was an imminent threat from Iraq. Snow counters him with evidence to the contrary, including where Bush said in the 2003 State of the Union that we should NOT wait for the threat to become imminent. Then Snow quotes Rockefeller himself having said, a year earlier (Oct 10, 2002), that the question of imminence itself was outdated ever since 9/11/01 -- so how could Rockefeller have misconstrued what Bush said? Jay Rockefeller is now the head of the no-longer non-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee.
