Climate Change Alarmist Alarmed They're Wrong

Have you read the article ?? It's 3 anecdotes and circular reasoning, written by (read to the end) some right-wing self-proclaimed Christian at her own outfit called "Energy Makes America Great Inc.". What did you expect from someone who's paid for her point of view? BTW there are a lot of that here: just look at CNN at night - such-such president of his own "Institute of Arabic Affairs", etc. Those mainly one-man outfits are invited as 'experts' on topics. The interviewer usually concludes with "we just spoke to the authority on..." to reinforce the POV they wanted to peddle in the first place.
The polar bear thing: he's a minor scientist in all this, who brought an anecdote and probably wanted to get the spotlight for it. As she says herself: he was doing other things at the time. How can this have any impact on a "theory" that started before him, of which he must be 0.001% ?? She's way off when she says that "this was fundamental work of the theory" - just trying to pump you up, dude - circular reasoning.
Article in Globe and Mail: just one of many, many such articles on both sides. Not greatly relevant - you'll find such new counter-ideas every other day in any paper. The Globe and Mail is just a morning paper, by the way. Since when is a morning paper reporting on news, accidents and last night's sports worthy of scientific debate? Picking on any specific to disprove something... wow.
Study by University of Alabama: ditto the above.
Wow, that was great scientific reading.
The cow is right on one thing though: Americans have hit the snooze button. But this is more an observation than a logical conclusion. It's catching up on them now anyways. Too late to wake up.
