I havent watched it. Nor do I care to. I dont really know where I stand on GW; probably somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. Its just not a subject I care much about.

However, if you think

"I point out quite correctly that the video was made in 2004 and criticizes the 2001 report, whose predictions have largely been verified so far. The sophistication of analysis and evidence has also improved a great deal since 2001, all supporting the theory BTW."

is a claim that you dont need to give a "second thought" then stay in poltics. If you want to talk about something from a scientific paradigm, you need to tell us why any new data that has come out since the video doesnt render the video irrelevant / or, at least, hurt its worth. He mentioned it in the first post, and extended it in the second.

(to note: I know nothing of the IPCC report, and phil could be totally in the wrong. But, you need to at least address a very obvious weakness)
