Sorry, Swing, that site lost all credibility. The whole bit about
climate change "denial" or "skepticism" reeks too much of the same BS
as the anti-evolution or flat earth crowd. I'll stick to buying what
is clearly the scientific consensus, at least for now, including
every single advanced country's academy of science.


Sorry, "consensus" does not generate "truth" (except in the liberal arts
such as English Literature, art, history, etc.). It is truth that generates
consensus. Regrettably, "truth" is often assumed to be what the experts say
it is - and they sometimes lie. Especially when the raw data are
unavailable, the results are not reproducible, and the experts have a
financial interest in the outcome.

Here's a report from just today:

Part of the IPCC's report said the glaciers in the Himalayas would melt by
2035. It is simply physically impossible to melt 400' thick ice covering
thousands of square miles in thirty-five years. Further, the "2035" number
was plucked from a magazine article written by a twit and included solely to
put pressure on political leaders. Over 500 people "peer reviewed" this IPCC
report and no one raised an objection.


One report said that "2035" was supposed to read "2350" but the digits were
transposed and no one noticed.
