Thank you Geordiesnow. The above linked anti-global warming contrarian article is too strident and political to be credible as science.
Of course we should be prepared to accept new evidence that contradicts received wisdom. But the evidence for glacial melt, increased sea temperatures, atmospheric carbon and temperature extremes (even before we get to polar ice) is overwhelming and multi layered. To deny the evidence as a whole is either deluded, stubborn or supported by vested interests.
There, I've said it. The article tone got under my skin. I joined to make this comment and it is the last I will say on the topic (marginally off-thread as it is)
I loved this thread last winter and will do so again this year. Thank you to everyone who contributes.
