January 28, 2010: "Is Global Warming a "Crock of S*%t?" - Many scientists and the media warn that global warming is a man-made danger. But others argue that climate change is nothing new", by Ed Wallace, Business Week (Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine has more than 4.7 million readers each week in 140 countries). "labeling to discredit someone by calling them a "denier" is a distorted and completely unjust position to take on such an important subject. In fact, virtually no one believes the earth has not gone through a period of unexplained warming. Therefore, the term "denier" is not just inaccurate, it's a complete and intentional mischaracterization of those wanting more open and honest scientific studies on the subject. As for the position that the science is settled and there is no dissent, as Bob Lutz might say, "that's a crock of s*%t!" Science Totally Not Settled On Dec. 8, 2009, during the Copenhagen Climate Challenge, an open letter was sent to the U.N. Secretary General signed by close to 150 scientists involved in physics, climatology, meteorology, and geophysics. The opening two sentences say it all: "Climate change science is in a period of 'negative discovery'; the more we learn about this exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving field, the more we realize how little we know. Truly, the science is NOT settled."" Read whole piece.
