It's going to be a good debate at Contemplation :-) watervole and I are on it :-)
I've been waiting for some "debunking" and "context" for the Channel 4 programme, because if 90% of the world's scientists believe one thing, then the C4 programme pretty much only talked to the other 10% so it was skewed entirely to the sunspot etc. theory.
Not that necessarily makes it wrong, breakthroughs in science are often against the flow of what "everyone" knows to be true.
I'd certainly like to see a more reasoned analysis (I don't need a debate, it shouldn't be about points scoring, it should be about good science and remaining sceptical of both sides)
and as Judith says, it will probably take someone far longer and more time than available before Contemplation to present the minority report, so I'm looking forward to the Orbital version!
