The name "Friends of Science", smacks of pseudo-science or complete bullshit. Science doesn't need friends. It's science, bitch. I went to google and typed ' "friends of science" front ' and the first link to come up told me the apparent truth.
I will send him there, though I'm sure it'll start an argument. He's one of these guys that, when presented with a large body of evidence and conclusions drawn from same, will fall back on "Yeah but that's just opinion". He seems unable to comprehend the idea of a consensus 'truth', or the fact that opinions (such as his on global warming) can be WRONG.
