A Worthwhile Quote

In a letter to the Economist magazine, Professor Benjamin De Foy of the St Louis University in St Louis ,MO said the following about the Climate Change issue:

"It is importan to keep the debate on climate change alive, so both sides should be grateful for each other. We could learn a lesson from the film '12 Angry Men'. Henry Fonda's lone sceptic holds firm against 11 angry jurors to prevent a possibly wrongful conviction. He does this by focusing on the evidence and not making personal attacks. Each side of the debate on global warming would do well to consider how they measure up to this standard"

Thanks for the post. Did the Economist article happen to comment on Climategate? That has certainly brought out the need for honest and objective "evidence and not making personal attacks".
