I beg to differ. The radar used for the "test" was in the completely wrong band anyway. I'm not sayign it's impossible. noone, not even the UCS is saying it's impossible. It's just not a good idea. For the less money then we spend on "star wars 2", we could prevent loose fissile material from ever reaching the hands of the people they shouldn't be in.
Eventually the technology will progress anyway without us needing to rush job another expensive ABM system.
Besides. A nuclear attack won't come in a missile so much as a suitcase.
It's even funny when an "Anonymous Coward" calls a bunch of scientists an "extreme fringe group".
You've got us. Scientists actually plot to take over the world. it's their sole motivation for uncovering the way the universe works. In fact, we invented the science of climatology because we like windmills. wheeee, aren't they pretty!!! And math, well. You are not cleared to learn about MATH!
No. They're not.
THE UCS was founded bye the same folks who brought to you "the bomb".
PHYSISISTS. (Some were even directly involved with the Manhatton Project)
They were concerned about its use. And of the nuclear proliferation that was occuring during the cold war. In time, they noticed their unique analytical expertise was needed, and asked for elseware.
I'm am member of the union of concerned scientists. I'll admit this up front as so no not be confused with a trolling "Anonymous Coward".
Please consider your sources before you dare post an article from a fringe group, like the "Heartland Institute" I will not bother to go into greta detail, 5 minutes of a google search will explain better than I can. why you are wrong about
1. The Heartland institute, a Conservative thinktank with ties to just about every pollution industry.
2. You can no concept of the UCS, and what we are about. I can remember the "Liberals" attacking us for beign conservative during the Clinton years. And now the "Conservatives" are attackign us.
The fact is..... the UCS deals with facts. Researchers carefully document their data, and the data is not "smoothed" it is open for skeptical analysis, because IT IS SCIENCE.
OH BTW, Longborgs math is wrong. Bad Statistical analysis is my pet peeve. This guy deserved a pie in his face just on that, let alone that he has sold himslef out to the highest bidder.
People, the VAST majority of scientists and Climatologists believe that global warming is a real issue. The only reason these fringe groups have a voice is that they have big money to back them up.
Look around for yourselves. And here.. read the crackpots too

these nuts believe climate change is a good thing!

Wow. you really are the pro-choice poster child are'nt you? THERE IS NO NOBEL PRIZE FOR CLIMATOLOGY.

As opposed to Militaries extremists, taking over Iraq, sending my friends home in bags.

Oh. I suppose you have a PHD in math to back that up?

You may want to read "Ghost of the executed engineer" it is a non-fiction acount, which may interest you.
Ah better. I like my hacked PDA!
