Subject: July Column in Gulf Publishing Date: 12 July 2006 21:33:52 GMT+02:00 To: tim.wright @ gulfpub. com Tim, My name is Jim Vemich. I am a registered professional engineer and president of a steel fabrication company that has multiple locations and builds steel pressure vessels and structural steel for many industries. We ship all over the world. My experience includes being the manager of engineering for a large U.S. oil refinery as well as working on several oil refining patents. I am experienced and intimately familiar with the scientific method. I was dismayed to read your column in the July issue of Hydrocarbon Processing...my first issue back after several years of not subscribing. I hope your column is not indicitave of HP's attitude toward the scientific method, but rather only your opinion based on your being impressed by "Lord Oxburgh"'s speaking ability, or other "proofs". Based upon your picture, you are quite young and don't remember this same bunch of doomsday guys predicting future disasters in the 1970s....and predicting incorrectly. If you haven't read Michal Crichton's "State of Fear", I would highly recommend it. Try this article if you don't have time for the whole book: http://www.crichton-official.com/fear/index.html politicized science is no science at all. Please, read Crichton's article. Jim Vemich President. Mark Steel Corporation *************************************************************************************** | ||||
