Wrong, fool. It's an indication that although trained as a scientist, Suzuki doesn't act like one. And by all outward indications, he doesn't think like one, either. But what else might one conclude about somebody who doesn't really have any credentials in the physical sciences (of which biology & zoology don't count)? He has no academic credential that supports his (self-)presumption of expertise in physics, or more-specifically, atomic physics or climate.]]> In reply to Len Rosen.

Putting "scientist" in quotes I gather is an attempt by you to suggest that David Suzuki has no academic credentials that show that indeed he is a scientist. Suzuki graduated from Amherst College in 1958 with an Honours BA in Biology. He received his PhD in zoology at University of Chicago in 1961. He has worked at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he was a research associate. He a faculty member and Professor Emeritus at UBC in Vancouver, British Columbia.]]> In reply to Sparafucile.

High school / middle school lesson plan

Today you can find on Harris’ own ICSC website a “lesson plan” for “high school / middle school”, which is fundamentally based on something Harris knows is a lie (unless he just rejects the scientific method outright, which is also a possibility), namely, that there is a “great debate” among climate scientists about whether increases in solar intensity have been mainly responsible for our planet’s ongoing global warming. This is completely false, unless you consider it a “great debate” when one side is nothing but a group of cranks, crackpots, megalomaniacs and thieves in numbers a child could count. Bottom line: Harris taught lie after lie to vulnerable college students in the service of his fossil-fool masters, and now he is pushing for the opportunity to corrupt younger minds.
