A website gets skeptical about global warming skepticism

Postby Kernos » 04 Mar 2010, 16:55


This is a great website, with a wealth of information for those needing ammunition to use against those who are anti-science, anti-rationality, anti-global warming.

Scientific skepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to expand their knowledge and improve their understanding. Yet this isn't what happens in global warming skepticism. Skeptics vigorously criticise any evidence that supports man-made global warming and yet eagerly, even blindly embrace any argument, op-ed piece, blog or study that refutes global warming.

So this website gets skeptical about global warming skepticism. Do their arguments have any scientific basis? What does the peer reviewed scientific literature say?

Success is really your only revenge, and I only wish as much effort was being put into ecology, new solar and electric cars as I see wasted in this debate over an issue which has no need to be debated.

"Hundreds of scientists" have made a life-time effort to prove global warming. Perhaps a more careful study would point to the even more critical problems past this.
I would rather see "hundreds of scientists" working on the solutions, producing them and making them real.

This consistent waste of our time is no longer something we have to waste.
