Stew, perhaps you could draft something up in more detail and make a submission on this?

excellent point, gb. Genuine alarmist scientists should relish the chance to put their case in their opponent’s forum.

Theo, I hope you are considering offering your services in this matter – the importance of scientific methods and ethics need to be brought home to everyone.

Good points, but please keep banging them home to us non-scientists. And don’t just monitor us – actively contribute wherever possible. We do welcome your expert guidance because we are bound to make mistakes. We want to ensure any such mistakes are quickly rectified so that warmists cannot readily debunk our work.

JAE, I agree. Above all we must not allow the science to be skewed by politicization as two ‘wrongs’ won’t make a ‘right’. A ‘comments’ or forum section would be best and done with total transparency – freedom of access to register dissent is always good way to ensure balance.

The “so what?” to the voter is in the money. You need to hammer the financial implications of AGW to the ordinary person. So have a section on money

(a) Taxes – actual and planned as paid by business/industry that must be passed on to us. There are 4 categories of tax with a 5th planned. Consumer taxes – the 10% on electricity is just start. Experts think that energy costs in Uk could rise to £5K per annum!
(b) Academic Rewards = in terms of career and stipend. I’ve read that young academic scientists are often told to go get sponsorship to pay for themselves. How strong is temptation to write b/s for grants? More studies, more papers, more kudos and then a professor (and made).
(c) Gov’t motivation. Explore and expose the thinking behind this multiparty headlong rush towards AGW. It can’t just be Taxes, especially if your planning to give most of proceeds away to underdeveloped countries.

The website includes a post of mine today but is not my blog. It concerns a short (2 min) 'skeptical' flic I finished today, located at youtube. I'd be happy to review & possibly contribute.
