I commend you for bothering with them Lulu, I seriously never bother doing that, I usually am very snarky and ask them how praying for the weather to change is working out for them. They never know what to say.

Yes he or she will be found

Yes he or she will be found soon enough I am sure.

I loved the comment that physicists simply distrust other scientists because they believe they cannot do math. I am pretty sure my husband thinks that about me, but I've gotten by pretty well all these years making my computer do math for me. :)

Hey, TmMcC, thanks for the link. Early today, when I first saw it, I forwarded it to a couple of my R. friends who have, in the recent past, expressed great skepticism about climate change. In order to do so they had to argue with the scientific analysis that had been presented to that point. They had to ignore what seemed to me to be obvious evidence. I added comments to the affect that, when tribalism trumps willingness to pay attention to strong evidence, it becomes hard to deal correctly with problems that affect us all.
These are intelligent, well educated, people that I was talking to, people that I like and respect in many ways, but in whom I hold a great deal of scepticism that they will ever see fault in a position that has been taken by their political tribe. They are sorta like fundamentalists.
Oh well. gotta keep trying. Keep up the good work.
