[Geology2] Re: your opinions

Im with Kim on this. I took the time to learn the issues surrounding global climate change, and it was quite different than what I have learned as a geologist, and took some time and thought. I've seen some seriously misinformed statements from geologists about climatology. Climatologists are exposed to a set of physical features that include a lot of meteorology. At this point, I would guess that modern climatology is contributing more to paleoclimatology than vice-versa. I would certainly not assume that paleoclimatologists are as knowledgeable about the current climate as are the climatologists. Their data, focus and methods are very different.
