Hi all-
	Fact gathering and decision-making are two separate and distinct 
activities.  Some might want to go back and read the opening remarks of 
Morse and Kimball, a pair of very talented scientific advisors, who wrote 
a book, "Methods of Operations Research".  Of the scientist wants to be 
heard, as a scoemtost. he/she must stay clear of the decision-making 
function.  That ruie has unfortunately been avoided in the discussions of 
climate warming, with the result that the science has been obscured (or 
obfuscated.
