Issue: Is global warming man made ?
Morgan : Affirmative
Wishart : Negative
Both agreed that the science on the subject was not settled. That’s an understatement
Morgan continually said ‘on balance’ of the science available at the end of 2008, that global warming was man made. Morgan analysis is a excellent example of how an phD in economics would answer, however science is not determined on a 51% to 49% win rate (nor 75% to 25%). After all would you take a new drug if you were told that the drug has a 51% success rate !
Science does NOT work with balances, it works with defined clear black and white results. That can be independently verfied over and over again. Unlike economics, which can be more of an art form.
So would you like your government to send your tax dollars to an overseas world exchange or government on a fifty fifty call ?? Of course not !
Morgan did concede that ‘using a hammer to crush a chest nut’ should be a very big warning. So I feel ever Morgan is not sold on the idea !
Home run to Wishart !
