LGF,
Unfortunately, science usually has to sing for it's supper-funding is easier to get for hot button issues. I don't know if you are old enough to remember, but, the global warming wizards of today look remarkably similar to the disproved global cooling dolts of the early to mid 1970s. We don't hate scientists-just bad science. Since man-made CO2 has never been more than 2% of the atmospheric total, a few of us have questioned the concensus, and been ridiculed for that. Since study groups are now proposing fees based upon the carbon footprint of individuals, (how does a fee on me reduce global temperature?) we become suspicious of another attempt at growing government.
My lone, unscientific observation about birds and lead shot-domestic chickens are smart enough to spit it out if they pick one up. I've seen that.
I'll not jump to the conclusion that domestic chickens are savants of any sort over that observation just yet, however. More study, is likely needed.
Best,
Ted
