That is the problem with common sense, it is not very common.

I am no expert on climate change, but to me it seems "common sense"
says that you cannot take a system (like the Earth) and make huge
changes to it (chopping down forests, burning lots of fossil fuels
etc) without having some impact. Trying to suggest that there will be
NO side effects to me is the opposite of common sense.

Evan,
Common sense science is where you do not indulge in that unnecessary
empirical research nonsense. If something makes sense to you or it
"is written" in the Holy Writ of your choice or marches your
delusions, it must be so. Possibly this style of science should be
called "Kekovichian', because "you know it makes sense".

Utter lunacy. They support "common sense science" (whatever that is,
maybe if they think the result doesn't make sense it is clearly
wrong), such as 'opposing the Kyoto protocol.'
I bet they're pro-House Crow too. Just joking...

Chris,
I just had a look through the Heartland site. It is hysterical, the best
laugh I have had for ages, particularly the page trumpeting the right of
peoples free access to experimental drugs. Surely this site is a
spoof? No
one of normal intellectual ability would believe any of the moronic
drivel
that is written there. If this site is Kosher, it would certainly
explain
the situation the world is in at the moment.

The link provided by Ian May on a "Global Warming Conference" goes
straight
to the 'Heartland Institute' of Chicago. You can get a flavor for who
this
"authoritive" institute is by having a look around the website.
Unfortunately nobody provides filters for loony right, free market
"think
tanks" (oxymoron?). These are a variety of the same people that gave us
securitized subprime mortgages and we know how useful that has been. Let
stick with some science and leave the snake oil salespeople to Michael
Costa. Ciao
