Brian Cox likes to call people Deniers and promote scientists as gods, and when he is challenged on it because Peer Review seems broken (see above) he just responds with quotes like

Utter Bollocks

And he called Martin Durkin's film

Polemic Bollocks

so obviously he noticed it was a polemic which is what it was meant to be. His most recent statements have also said that Homeopathy is

Utter Bollocks

too. His main partner in these statements is a chap called Robin Ince - they do a radio program together called "The Infinite Monkey Cage" where they tackle science issues. Ince is a comedian.

Cox is a great presenter, probably a great scientist too and I like him to have forthright views.

I can like him and disagree with him, same for you

David Attenborough says incorrect things, and has to correct them.

It wasn't his fault, it was sloppy fact checking by the BBC who took a press release as fact, just like the IPCC has - Himalayan Glaciers due to be gone by 2030 anyone ?

I've never seen him in action, but I understand he was bugg... sorry, er, bettered in a rather unfriendly fashion in a TV exchange on AGW recently. He likes Bow Ties, which despite Dr Who liking them too are not cool. He likes limos and bottled water too.



Shouldn't he be on a bus or at least in a Prius or better still taking a bike ?

We are all thieves for depleting resources from our children and nature. We are back to the "make people wealthier and they will leave wildernesses alone" arguments - see the talk I linked to above.

You want to stop people taking local resources and land give them jobs. You do that on economic development. Which needs cheap energy. You stabilise their populations and at the same time technology moves on and we get more from less - again.

He has done a few Horizon BBC science programs on hard physics - very very good presenter.

The only thing I have seen from him is the more storms due to AGW thing. Except there is no statistical evidence of that, in fact probably the opposite (<-- scientist, with a blog)



He also missed the point Richard Muller (BEST, and the "skeptic who converted" mentioned in earlier pages) said in the interview I linked to with NPR - the theory states there will be less extreme weather, not more.

We are all doomed, DOOMED I tell ye. Wonder if he would say that now ? Wonder what Richard Feynman would be saying these days ? Wonder if they would look at peer review, lack of openness in the stats, the idea that "models" are reality and re-running them can be counted as an "experiment".

Be believes anyone who argues against any part of science, including AGW, must also believe in "Intelligent Design" or some other bollocks. And like Cox believes that science and peer review are working fine and make it all absolutely true and there is no problem with openness in the stats and methods or that papers that pass peer review can be shown to have so many doubts in under 2 weeks of publication.

I agree with him on being an atheist, I have no interest in taking it as far as he does - if people have a faith then that is their business and nobody else's. Society in general should be ruled by law applied equally to all.

That big corporations are...oh everything from ruining local food production to stealing resources and our future etc. Except global food production is up - there shouldn't be anyone going hungry. The fact that there is and lots of people don't have access to clean water is more of a threat to the populations she writes about than AGW.

Apparently it is a bigger threat than nuclear weapons.

Care to link a source ?

In the old Soviet Union white cars were reserved for influential party members in warm areas as they had no AC at all.
