Junk science? Global warming is a mainstream view. You
can disagree with the science, but you can't call it
junk.
We need to start cracking down on contributors who
do this.
I'm talking about the dozens of places in which
environmentalist
contributors keep inserting their unattributed claim
that there is a
CONSENSUS that supports their POV.
There *is* an almost complete majority, but perhaps
not a consensus. Your diffs make it seem like it's
split evenly between people who acknoledge and don't
acknoledge global warming.
I'm talking about
PhD scientists like
William Connolley who insert statemnts like "Singer
is wrong" into
articles instead of NAMING the scientists who
disagree with Singer and
saying WHY they disagree.
Well, he's just a poor author.
I've tried being cordial affable. I've tried
patiently explaining NPOV.
Nothing works. These advocates keep injecting their
POV back into the
articles, even using smear tactics against
scientists who report
findings which disagree with environmentalist POV.
Sounds like you're in an edit war. Maybe you should
lay off the article for a while while non-involved
parties fix the article.
I really see no POV in other people's revisions in the
article, but your revisions seem to be somewhat
against acknowledging global warming.
I can't stop three dozen other contributors from
injecting bias into the
scientific articles relating to the environment. Not
by myself -- not by
slowly and patiently undoing each mistake and
explaining it. I'm
outnumbered and outgunned.
Did you ever think for just a moment that you could be
wrong?
I'm going to start issuing official warnings to NPOV
violators. If that
doesn't slow them down, I'm going to suspend them --
give them a
temporary ban.
For that? You're out of your mind!
Jimbo keeps saying he's sorry to see me go and happy
to see me back.
Well, I call on him to back me up -- or fire me.

What's with you and banning people you disagree with?
