The Deniers: Flattering Stories from National Post

The National Post of Canada, which had an interview with Richard Lindzen on Earth Day on which Eli has commented, has featured no less than 27 stories about people they call "The Deniers", puff pieces about various scientists who heroically (despite threats of industry funding and press attention should they persist) urge us not to worry too much. Update: Or so the Post claims (see comments). Actually not all of the 27 really disbelieve the scientific consensus. Thanks, Belette.

  1. You should look at the list in more detail and not trust them. Wingham-Smith (polar) isn't a denier. Nor, indeed, is Wegman.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
