Letter: Logic can twist into many conclusions

The Columbian
Published: May 6, 2011, 12:00am

In his April 27 letter, “Provide details to support consensus,” Ron “Wick” Thomas said, “I do not recall humans burning a forest intentionally.” What about the 1.5 acres of forest that disappear every second in the Amazon basin due to slash-and-burn agriculture?

And just because Thomas thinks WSUV Professor Brain N. Tissot did not present any “facts” concerning man-made global warming in his short op-ed does not mean that no facts exist.

Lastly, Thomas claims that if man-made global warming is a fact, then no need for a “consensus” among scientists exists. In other words, that there is a consensus among scientists is just more evidence that mad-made global warming is a hoax. Is this twisted logic or what?
