Flat Earth Award

Challenge Issued and Refused. Interesting to note that a group of students are having a vote on "Flat Earth Awards" for people who don't agree on anthroprogenic global warming. Fred Singer offered a debate for the finalists and offered to accept the award in person. The offer was refused because they apparently don't want to hear opposing views. It's hard to deny that we have been in a period of global warming for about 10,000 years (since the last ice age). Some thought is that we are moving toward the next ice age. The real debate is whether man-made emissions of "greenhouse" gasses are causing increases in temperature. The global warming activists are absolutely sure, even if none of the models do not include the most potent greenhouse gas, water vapor.

I'm not absolutely sure of anything on the subject. I am absolutely sure that when the activists attack anyone who opposes their views, they can't be entirely correct.

Oh come on, you are a chemist and you seriously believe anyone would construct a climate model without water vapor?

I note that "water vapor climate model" yields 508,000 hits on google, as of this moment.

(I've got a rusty degree in chem, myself)
