While I agree with Hawkings on his China comments, he's way off on his global warming hysteria.
Yes, he's a genius...at math and astrophysics. But he's simply not a qualified person when it comes to the great Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) scare. Yes he's an expert, and he's a scientist...but he's not a geologist, nor a paleoclimatologist.
It's akin to seeking out Dwayne Wade for advice on water polo. He's an expert and an athlete...but he's not in a position to give expert advice on water polo.
As a geologist I have to point out that the Earth's tectonic regime is vastly different than Venus', which means different rules are in play. Further, Earth's CO2 levels have been immensely higher in the past than they are now, and some of those times saw Earth colder than it is now.
Anyways, when it comes to AGW, yes the world is warming...because it's coming out of the little Ice Age from ~1300-1850. When temperatures were significantly colder than now, which isn't mentioned anymore.
Isn't it amazing that people can whine about the anti-science of 'creationism' but force the anti-science of AGW down our throats?
Hypocrites.
