  What if Inhofe is right?

  My take on this article is that there is a difference between a Doctor and a scientist. One is practicing medicine, which is art as much as science. The other is searching for truth.

  Have you ever been to or known someone who has been to a medical specialist and gotten the wrong diagnosis or worse, died because of the wrong diagnosis and treatment?

  Doctor's that I know are always reading work done by non-doctors. They use this information to make better and more informed decisions. Some conduct research to further, in a practical way, what they are doing. They never say never to a different idea, practice or procedure.

  What I am concerned about is Dr. Dressler has made up his mind, end of discussion. Consensus does not prove anything. Dr. Dressler does not take on any of the scientific studies listed by Senator Inhofe.

  He attacks the messenger and those that are not exactly like him as being invalid and not worthy of discussion. I think this happened in the 1630s to Galileo. Something about the sun and the moon. The consensus then was wrong. Could it be the consensus on the cause of global warming could be wrong?

  Perhaps the biggest non-specialist on global warming is Al Gore. He has been anointed by the Nobel Committee. My problem with former Vice President Gore is that he confuses correlation with causation in his film.
