On certain issues.
Certainly not on CFC atmospheric chemistry, as you seek to make out.
All I'm saying is that the controversy should be
REPORTED in Wikipedia
articles.
No. You called for William Connolley's edits to be reverted.
And you called for the idea that CFCs deplete the ozone layer to be considered
controversial.
Both sides of the debate about Global Warming are represented quite well in
wikipedia. After a definition, the [[Global warming]] article continues :
"Depending on what data one chooses to emphasize,
different conclusions are possible ... The difference between the
interpretations of the historical record affects how the most recent
warming trend is viewed: the quantitative records show the recent warming
trend, and the current warmth, as unusual; from the qualitative record,
many "skeptics" believe that the recent trend is not unusual"
And thats before we get to [[Global warming controversy]]...
"A number of scientists with backgrounds in climate research -- notably
Richard Lindzen, Fred Singer, Patrick Michaels, Robert Balling and Sherwood
Idso -- dispute the global warming theory (see [[global warming
skepticism]]). Also, a number of conservative think tanks oppose the theory,
some implying that fraud has been involved in advocacy for it (see Science
and Environmental Policy Project)."
It is REPORTED.
You started this thread with specific complaints.
Don't now retreat behind generalities.
