Another Climate-Change Retraction

Posted by Unknown on Monday September 16, 2013 @10:42AM from the science-says-you're-doomed dept.

jamie writes "It seems every time someone twists global-warming science into 'good news,' a retraction is soon to follow, and so it must be for Slashdot. Yesterday, the conservative Wall Street Journal published yet another apologetic claiming 'the overall effect of climate change will be positive,' by someone who (of course) is not a climate scientist. Today, Climate Progress debunks the piece, noting 'Ridley and the WSJ cite the University of Illinois paper to supposedly prove that warming this century will be under 2C — when the author has already explained to them that his research shows the exact opposite!' We went through this same process last year, with the same author and the same paper, so it's pretty embarrassing that he 'makes a nearly identical blunder' all over again."

I read the 'fucking science'.
I spend a lot more than 'five fucking minutes' reading it.
I am not an 'fucking infant'.
Maybe the same is true for onyxruby, I do not know him.
I think he has a point.
But the topic is climate change, not sex.
If you (correctly) feel you do not have any arguments, try not use that word over and over again.
It really is not a replacement for arguments and/or opinions.
