Congratulations. Thats one of the best arguements I've seen you put forth in years. You are correct that science says we have global warming and IMHO it does prove that there is junk science out there to be wary of.

What you left out is the fact that, in your global warming example, there is plenty of science to support the other side to global warming. In the case of deer management, your side falls way short on science. Vocal opinions and armchair biologists with calculators don't constitute credible science and thats about all you've got. That and maybe a flawed study or two like the Mississippi study that was pretty much picked apart as incomplete and therefore unreliable.
