    1. it's really not nice to criticize someone on their death announcement. your social skills suck

    2. if you are a well-respected writer, perhaps you would have the authority to judge. but as a random asshole on the internet, your authority to judge his work is zero. oh of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but i am also entitled to ascribe a value to your opinion. the value of your opinion is somewhat below the "gee i should share my thoughts on slashdot" threshold you thought it enjoyed when you decided to post your retarded opinion

    we don't care what you think, asshole, because you shit on a well-respected author on the announcement of his death. did i forget to mention that makes you an asshole? have a nice day, asshole

    Read the real peer reviewed papers, and you will see that Skepticism is entirely justified.

    No, I will see no such thing. Perhaps if I pick and choose a few papers presented to me by those who want to promote the denial of global warming, I might think so, however.

    You could've just written this:

    "Lalalalalala I can't hear you lalalalalala"

    It would've been shorter and to the point.
