wherein I disagree about disagreeing...
Eli has some comments disagreeing with me, but oddly, I agree with them.
I am not sure I understand what it is he thinks I am saying, but apparently I disagree with it.
It's very much worth a read anyway, if only to gain the worthwhile nomenclature of the "Overton Window".

Dear Michael,
I have read Eli Rabett's post, and have replied here. You are welcome to criticise my thoughts.
I must admit, I cannot really see why you have been grouped together with Nisbet and Mooney in Eli's remark here:
"The important point which the Mooney's, Nisbet's and Tobis' are missing, is that they should not define the middle excluding those far to either side of their position. If you try that the Inhofes will define the window for you as including them, you on the other side and Hansen shut out in the cold. If those who think climate change is an important issue try to find the "middle" position as an accommodation, the denialists will leave the middle as the extreme."
I keep thinking I am looking at the window from the wrong angle when I try to picture that three-dimensional window scene ;-)
Well, I am devising my own way to frame climate change discussions …
