I, Too, Weep For The Dogs

I, like the author of this excellent article, am quite tired

. . . of the notion that “atheism” is charged with providing an answer to anything, as if atheism were some collective belief system, as if atheists replaced the Bible and church and hymns on Sunday with rules and rituals of their own.

You must read on for yourself to find the reference to dogs noted in my subject.

More Tom and His Friends!

As I mentioned some time ago, there is a fellow named Tom Harris of the NRSP, a group that seeks to become

a high profile, independent and professional non-profit entity . . . that can effectively counter the government relations and communications of today's powerful and well-funded environmental lobby.

What they don't mention in that strategy blurb is that they are a well-funded "enviromental" lobby.

Well, Tom and many of his buddies from the NRSP contributed to a BBC "documentary" called The Global Warming Swindle. I can't get it on the Netflix yet, so the only source I have to follow regarding its veracity are the numerous scientific bitch-slaps I've read over the months and this little interview (in two parts) with the director, Martin Durkin.

Tom also wrote a little ditty that continued to quote his friends, continued to raise concerns addressed long ago, and continued, in general, to be Tom and the NRSP. For the curious, an article in the Science Blogs rebuts the points Tom tries to make in his article.

It's nice when scientists can come so easily to the defense of science, isn't it? Love the interwebs!

Oh, and for the record, Tom has yet to address the inquiries I made so very long ago, and even cites the "evidence" in his article. If the point I raised on water vapor were so supported by evidence that he saw fit to quote it again and again, one would think he would address the concerns raised specifically about it? Gotta wonder.
