Re: Burt Rutan - Is Climate Change caused by Mankind?
What I like most about Rutan's presentation is that he calls out which group he belongs too and thus his own personal bias. This should be a requirement any time anyone is doing analysis that requires some interpretation. This highlights the dangers of confusing "independent" research with "neutral" or "un-biased" research/analysis.

Michael Crichton has a similar presentation about the use of fear as a political tool.

I agree with Andy on the reaching out to Rutan. The guy has achieved some amazing engineering feats especially in the field of experimental aircraft.
