Reply #118: Chrichton talks about nuclear winter ...

[chicagiana]

But he fails to acknowledge that ice cores have revealed nuclear winter conditions after major volacano eruptions. The science is sound. The "nuclear winter" conclusion is a reasonable extrapolation.

BTW, I do agree with his "science of consensus" notion. I certainly agree with his notion about calculating the number of alien species in the galaxy. It's involves variables that cannot be measured. It's not science.

But I think Chrichton takes liberty and simply connects failed old predictions with new failed predictions without looking at the fundamentals of those predictions.
