Answers:
*I'm really, really sorry to be difficult, but I just can't parse your question.  Do you mean something like  "What do you think would need to be included or excluded in order for the article to be perfectly NPOV, and all the material to be factual?" Raymond Arritt 01:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you're quite right, my wording was hopelessly backwards. I have corrected it; my apologies, and thanks a lot for pointing it out. All the best, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Note: If you simply get the pro-warming to stop rejecting every change in the status quo, then there will be no more edit wars, and no problem. By the way, they frequently reject entire sub-topics because of what they say it will do the "science". They ignore a growing consensus to make this entry a rreal overview, and to encompass several topics. Thanks. --Sm8900 13:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A Global warming FAQ exists and is linked at the top of this page (though the link is possibly a little lost in amongst all the banners currently at the top); it could certainly use more work of course, so feel free to pitch in. -- Leland McInnes 03:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Agree with Blue Tie. (Not trying to reignite the debate; I am only indicating under those whom I agree with, to make things more efficient.) --Sm8900 13:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: There is absolutely no basis for you unilaterally deciding that this article should consist only of science. This is what i mean. you are actively suppressing legitimate edits by good-faith editors. This article touches on many topics, and there is no basis for you deciding only to include science just because that is what you want. --Sm8900 15:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I stated my opinion as to the nature of the article direction within the context of this group discussion, which is clearly within editors' rights on this talk page. I have made no unilateral decisions or judgements, so am puzzled by your unjustified criticism.   Note that I have not attempted on any occasion to preclude your participation in these discussions.  --Skyemoor 16:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a fair point. I meant "you" as plural, meaning "you" the group, not "you" personally. I appreciate your constructive tone to me, and have no problem with you personally at all. Thanks for your helpful and informative reply. See you. --Sm8900 16:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: *And don't you think the general user would also visit greenhouse gas and greenhouse effect and mitigation and climate models if they wanted to know what they are? Your rationale is a little haphazard and overly selective. The general, lay user will want to know the broad picture of global warming, not just very narrow specifics that could be found in a more warranting article. ~ UBeR 23:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  UBeR, I guess that here we're being asked our personal opinion about the orientation that the article should take. MJ is entitled to his opinion as much as anybody else, and I don't say that because I share the same feeling ;-P. Actually, my view is that if I look for a Global Warming entry somewhere, I want to know what Global warming is and how 'it works'. I don't think the greenhouse gas, greenhouse effect articles answer this question totally, because they are not GW (and please don't misread this statement by concluding that I said that GW is not caused by greenhouse gas ;-) )! There was greenhouse gas and gh effect before GW, and there will be after. This is only the basic principle behind GW, but the article of GHG  can not focus on GW. So these articles, as well as political, economical, societal etc .... articles related to GW could be introduced in the GW article for people interested in additional and more in depth information. But IMO, all of these article are extented topics, children of the GW process itself, but not to be put under the denomination Global Warming. But it's just how I see it of course :-) --Galahaad 00:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Might we move this conversation to a new section?  -- With a title maybe something like "What the general user would like to see on the global warming page?"  Apparently, a lot of us would like to discuss this.  --Rednblu 00:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
