Climate Change Denial

Climate Change Denial

I was reading up on a new science blog I’ve discovered and found a piece on climate change denial:

One particular piece caught the eye.

One excerpt on climate change denial was particularly offensive:

“The paper’s main point seems to be said cooling cannot be attributed to the more common factors; aerosols , volcanic cooling, ENSO, arctic oscillation. Towards the end they weakly state said cooling is a result of the North Atlantic and marine surface air temperature being more coupled then usual due to a slowdown of the thermohaline circulation caused by documented regional drops in salinity in the late 60’s.”

Utter sophistry to peddle the agenda of those parties to whom climate change is an inconvenience and has implications on their profit margins. Those who commission, carry out and publish these studies should hang their heads in shame.

Climate change denial – disgrace.
