My rejection of Huitzilopochtli stems entirely from my squeamishness about incorporating human sacrifice into my routine.

I also don't know what percentage of evolution deniers believe the earth is 6,000 years old or 10,000 years old, or which believe in the ark story and which don't, or which astrologers use 5 planets instead of 7 or 8, or which demons the deniers of germ theory blame for illness, and for the same reasons.<br /><br />Once someone rejects science, their pseudo-scientific explanations are just a smoke screen. The real story is their underlying motive, which in the case of AGW is not having to change the way they live or view the world economically, which underlies every reason you list.ScienceAvengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855046387193200080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-27630611039360246802009-05-17T23:00:00.000-05:002009-05-17T23:00:00.000-05:00Do you happen to know what percentage of the "deni...Do you happen to know what percentage of the "deniers" say that <br />A) there is no global warming.<br />B) there is insignificant global warming, but the human effect on GW is zero.<br />C) there is insignificant global warming, but the human effect on GW is minimal.<br />D) there is significant global warming, but the human effect on GW is minimal.alexnoreply@blogger.com
