Index of Subjects Lois, I'm perplexed how Pratt's piece could be considered "good" by any stretch of the imagination. To take one example of his rocky reasoning, he writes: "Moreover, the zealotry of many adherents [of a belief in global warming] is frighteningly reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, fascism and other movements designed to take control and silence dissent. Vicious personal attacks on those who raise valid scientific questions infect the blogosphere, including likening them to Holocaust deniers." Pratt objects to "personal attacks" and comparisons between gw-deniers and "Holocaust deniers," but only after he himself has drawn a comparison between "many adherents..." and villains of both the Spanish Inquisition and Fascist movements. That no editor caught such blatant logical carelessness and double standards doesn't speak well of the Professional Engineers of Saskatchewan magazine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lois Codling" <loiscodling@hfx.eastlink.ca> To: "Nature NS" <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 10:06 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Re: Birds face longer migrations due to climate change > > > A good article on global warming on page 10 of the Professional > Engineers of Saskatchewan magazine. > > http://www.apegs.sk.ca/adx/aspx/adxGetMedia.aspx?DocID=2879,16,1054,1061,Documents&MediaID=4272&Filename=Edge119-final.pdf > > My husband suggested this one. > > Lois Codling > > > > >
