#3 P@K, nobody is going to ask him whether he believes in AGW (though it might be interesting). They're going to ask him re details of his reported "observations". |

#1 A polygraph test only indicates reaction not lies or truths. Tie one of those devices up to a 14th Century bishop and ask him if the world is flat and the center of the universe and you'll get a nominal response. It's what the individual believes, not necessarily 'facts'. Remember you're dealing with some 'true believers' in the venue of MMGW regardless of conflicting/manipulated data. |
