Gerald,
You cite your qualifications and research history to butress your views. May I look a little closer? When you say 'geologist of long standing' you mean 'a geologist long since retired'. Do you stay abreast of the literature in peer reviewed journals? Or is your knowledge stuck in the mid-80s?
You also state you have worked on sea-level change. A search of the databases found one paper by you (I presume there are others that the databases have missed) entitled 'Side Scan Sonar Records of the Brisbane River and the Interpretation of Ancient Sea Levels' ('Ancient in this context refers to the late Pleistocene). While determination of the high-stand sea-level of previous interglacials using geomorphology is worthwhile research I really can't see how it is relevant to the topic.
If you want to play this game I'll walk down the corridor and bump into a few profs who's research is much more relevant to the debate (including one who is an authority on 20th century sea-levels) who are convinced AGW is real (and who are not receiving a brass razoo of 'greenhouse' money).
BTW can you give an example of the other 'scams being pulled
on a gullible public'. I'd be quite interested.
