> What is an established model? It is not fact. Just another theory.
We've already discussed the differences between the way that lay-persons throw around the word "theory" and the way that scientists use it.
Let's not rehash that now.

Could be a corollary to Godwin's Law: As a discussion of climate change (or evolution, or cosmology, etc.) grows longer, the probability of a definition of "theory" or "scientific theory" approaches unity.
We could make it a rule that the first person to say "its a theory, not a fact" has lost the argument and close the thread.

You do have to give the Heartland Institute shill some credit for chutzpah. He responds to Al Gore's book about corporate shills working for fake institutes who distort and misrepresent and lie about science by distorting, misrepresenting, and lying about science.
