Rebuttle here outlines that not one of these 25 are climatologists. The article claims their science is flawed also.

Thank you for sharing that link. I've never heard of the publication before, and would never have found it on my own. Constructive critique and thoughtful rebuttal is exactly what I'm hoping to get from SaidIt. Keep up the great work!

Hi Sawboss,

You and I know each other from IRC of course. I hesitated to post but knew you would respond rationally in kind.

In the final analysis it's not about who can shout over whom--it's about reasoned positions backed by the best available knowlege.

R*ddit has become a shouting match over ideology. You've proven that we can get beyond talking points and assess the facts. I can see you feel the same way.

You and I may not agree on this one but if I see the science that global warming is not caused by human activity then I'm perfectly happy with that result. In the vernacular, "I don't give a shit about posturing, I care about the facts."

You and I may not agree on this one

It's not even that we strongly disagree. I do believe that the climate changes. I am not convinced that those changes are driven by human activity to the extent that many other people seem to. Either way, it's a much lower priority for me than finding some way to avoid the coming civil war in America which is currently being fueled by fake news and social media.
