Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling
Layzej writes "The New York Times reports: 'For decades, a small group of scientific dissenters has been trying to shoot holes in the prevailing science of climate change, offering one reason after another why the outlook simply must be wrong.' Initially they claimed that weather stations exaggerated the warming trend. This was disproven by satellite data which shows a similar warming trend. Next, solar activity was blamed for much of the warming. This looked like a promising theory until the '80s, when solar output started to diverge from global temperatures. Now, climate contrarians are convinced that changes in cloud cover will largely mitigate the warming caused by increased CO2. The New York Times examines how even this last bastion for dissenters is crumbling. Over the past few years, Several papers have shown that rather than being a mitigating factor, changes in cloud cover due to warming may actually enhance further warming."

You know, some of us buy carbon free electricity, collect rain water, recycle, live within 5 miles of our place of business and still drive a truck so that we can work on specific hobbies like building furniture and landscaping. Maybe not everyone fits your redneck mold.

Nothing fits in a Prius.
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
Especially the driver's ego.
Smug alert!
Exactly! Follow the money trail and you'll find all these big wig professors living large, dangling their bling from their Corollas and Datsuns, as they go about lobbying congress and throwing money around.
