An Inconvenient Truth

I can understand your frustration with the hypocrisy of Al Gore. But that section doesn't belong in the article. There are many many problems with that article. Can you perhaps fix some of the ones that have to do with the violations of NPOV instead of edit-warring over an attack on Al Gore that doesn't even mention the movie? -- THF 22:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions on counties

Hello, I'm sure you're already aware of them ([1] - followed by [2]), but please remember that the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places) apply on all matters relating to the use of the counties of the United Kingdom; we use the contemporary or ceremonial counties of England as the primary geographic county system, not former administrative, postal, registration or ancient counties.

Your edits to Bernard Manning appear to attempt to somehow hide that Alkrington is in Greater Manchester (which I object to, as would the vast majority of the editting community). Alkrington is not actually in Middleton - it is a seperate locality south of Middleton. It was in the Middleton local government district for a short time until 1974, but this was, of course, abolished that year per an act of parliament. Jza84 00:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate change denial

Anonymous User:72.40.153.239 has added this to your nomination. I don't know if that's you logged out, or if it is a subtle form of vandalism. --Stephan Schulz 13:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops...overlapping edits. I see you fixed it. --Stephan Schulz 13:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Global warming analogies

Just so you know, I've listed Global warming analogies at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Global_warming_analogies. In my opinion the short mention that remained in Global warming controversy was sufficient given the level of notability of the topic; readers can follow the references if they want to read more. However I welcome your input on the AfD page. --Nethgirb 11:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Wanted

Dear Iceage77,

I notice from the discussion on Global warming that you hold views which are a little beyond the "consensus". I run a website for Lenzie and am looking for someone with a particularly strong view either pro or anti to write a short article about global warming to spice up the content a little.

If you would like to put your views together as a short article, then I would be very interested to publish it.

regards,

Have a look at The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle#Claims_made_in_the_film for a summary of some of the main anti-AGW arguments. Iceage77 12:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine print

Hey, I saw you added a link to ultimateglobalwarmingchallenge.com to Steven Milloy. It's tempting to try to make a quick $100,000, but I noticed the fine print:

JunkScience.com reserves the exclusive right to determine the meaning and application of concepts and terms in order to facilitate the purpose of the contest.
The winner, if any, will receive $100,000 in a single, lump sum payment. JunkScience.com does not promise or guarantee that the UGWC will have any winner.
A fee of $15 is required for each entry submitted. There will be no refunds of entry fees.

...And the kicker:

Entrants waive all rights and claims against JunkScience.com related to, or arising from the UGWC.

So I decided not to enter. Call me a cynic... :) MastCell ^Talk 00:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yea I know it's just a publicity stunt, but you do get a t-shirt if you enter :) Also I think some scientists have offered bets on the subject. Iceage77 14:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, $15 for a T-shirt isn't bad... maybe it's a wash. :) It just reminds me of an AIDS denialist stunt in which they offered £1000 to anyone who could provide proof of the existence of HIV... as judged by people who don't think HIV exists. MastCell ^Talk 16:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Climate change denial criticisms sandbox

I've created a sandbox that I'm inviting you and others to contribute to. Don't get me wrong, I still think you're wrong (about the notability of pundits making the connection itself as opposed to the notability of pundits reporting on those making the connection), but I want to give you the chance to convince me without a lot of deleting going on.

Abd al-Bari Atwan and EA

I would welcome your point of view about the issues that you are currently experiencing with the Abd al-Bari Atwan article. I am concerned that we at EA may not have received an entirely fair portrayal from Annalasim because we currently have only one side's viewpoint. Please comment at Editor Assistance or alternatively, contact me on my talk page. Adrian M. H. 15:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A study on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies

Hi. I would like to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change. If interested, please get in touch via my talkpage or email me Encyclopaedia21 (talk) 16:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
