Climate Change Skeptic Results Released Today
Irishman writes "A leading climate change skeptic, Richard Muller, will release results today showing that global warming is indeed happening. He has shown that two items skeptics look to, urban heat islands and unreliable weather stations, do not skew the data. The amazing part is that this research is funded by the Koch brothers, two investors who fund climate change skeptics whenever possible."
Just note that I didn't label my opponent, whereas that was exactly the crux of your argument: "oh no he wasn't a real sceptic, I have been lied to!" Wherein you demand that others adhere to your layman definition of scepticism, and you consider the lack of bias equal to your own to be bias. You make up half-truths in order to label others as liars. Well done for someone who dares calling himself my intellectual opponent.
Interesting that you should mention the Vostok ice core data. Most Climate Change "truthers" aren't very familiar with the scientific data about Climate Change.
I'd like to draw your attention to something interesting about the Vostok ice core data:
You'll notice that, in the last 400,000 years (spanning multiple Ice Ages and inter-glacial periods), the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide never exceeded 300ppm. We currently stand at ~390ppm.
