  13. George Will is *more* intellectually honest than Albert Gore, Steve
  14. Schneider, and the scores of global warming advocates.
  15.  
  16. Whether or not there has been statistically significant warming over the
  17. last 100 years is debatable and a matter or controversy.  Attributing
  18. any change over the same period to anthropogenic causes is even more
  19. controversial.
  20.  
  21. George Will is being criticized because he doesn't agree with the 
  22. advocates.  The argument is political, not scientific.  Most scientists
  23. still believe that more measurements are required; if anthropogenic
  24. global warming were a foregone conclusion they wouldn't need more
  25. measurements.
