Steve,

I am not sure I agree with this being a cool thing to work on given today's proprensity for dictating what data is acceptable to share. The UN manipulated data in an attempt to solidify support for the GW theories being pushed on all of us. If they really cared about this "science" why are they pushing more controls on wealthier nations, which leads to creation of more pollutants in poor nations as manufacturing is shifted to those areas? The US and Europe have some of the most stringent controls on the planet. China and India have almost none. Yet the goal is to fine the first nations for polluting, and not the others. The UN and GW theorists are simply engaged in an effort that leads to shifting pollution from one area to another, and where the area it is being shfited to ends up creating far more pollution than the area it was shifted from.

While I do strongly agree that we should do more to decrease the effect we have on the environment, especially when it comes to pollution, I have to think it would be extremely frustrating to work in any endeavor which has been shown to not allow for true research. Every attempt to provde facts, that show the entire GW theory to be BS, leads to those who are pushing this so called science attacking the presenter. The only thinking that is acceptable to these groups is that which supports their ideas, even if it requires outright lies.

When I present data to management that shows there are numerous choices that can be made, I only expect them to review the information and make a choice. If I had to work for someone that would instead tell me to change my data until it matches what they need to support their decision, I can only imagine how frustrating that would be. I think that is why so many true scientists refuse to engage in any work in this area. They recognize the futility.
