WTH is this supposed to mean? Hyperbole much? That attitude is highly dismissable.

If one wants to talk about tin foil or conspiracies, let's examine your well-known desire that the evil human beings need to catch some deadly virus or some other sort of disaster needs to occur so that the trees and roaches can live without human interference. Dangerous and insane attitude, so perhaps around you one would need some shielding.

Don't go there unless prepared - there is plenty of information in the arsenal.

.... That is just semantics. The NOAA publishes articles prominently on their website like this one: ...

Whether you use the term 'endorse', or whatever term. They don't reject the theory of AGW and in fact produce literature that affirms it....
For God's sake - semantics deal with the meaning of a term. NO federal granting agency ENDORSES ANYTHING. They fund research and do their own research. To endorse anything is a violation of regulations and ethics. ANYONE endorsing anything at an agency will rapidly lose their job - not an easy thing for an FTE to do.

They do not endorse a thing, and they do not reject a thing. The do fund fesearch investigating valid science to answer valid scientific questions.

Disingenous post, Andrewl - very.
