science?
Elliot:
"that is philosophy/argument, not scientific measure"
Actually, it is science. The scientific method: formulate a hypothesis, gather data to support, perform experiments to verify. If the experiment/observation does not match the hypothesis, then formulate a new hypothesis. If it does, look for more data/experimental evidence to support.
I'll ask you again: can you provide an alternative assessment of the state of the biosphere that is scientifically credible? I don't consider Bjorn Lomborg to be credible for reasons I've already explained. Anyone else?
