    Re: Dangerous Global Cooling III

    surely you don't want to argue that someone needs scientific credentials to be able to adequately evaluate scientific claims. if that's the case, then we should all just uncritically accept the...

    it has been academic and political suicide to come out as a climate change skeptic for at least 25 years. what did you expect to be the result of that kind of undue pressure on the people doing...

    maybe so. doesn't seem like it's anywhere near as quick as they want you to believe. if it's not anthropogenic, does it make sense to spend trillions of dollars on reducing carbon emissions rather...
