The first stage of grief, SciGuy blog-style
THE CHRONICLE'S RESIDENT FAITH-BASED GLOBAL-WARMING ENTHUSIAST seems still to be in the first stage of grief (denial) over recent developments in the global-warming debate:
Climate change is now firmly a plank of the Republican party, that is, I believe it is now something of a litmus test for Republican candidates. ClimateGate has legitimized climate contrarianism.
Actually, reality has legitimized healthy skepticism towards climate scientists with political agendas (and not a small number of believing "journalists" for that matter). Three cheers for reality!
That the Chron's global-warming true believer seems to be in something of a shocked state of denial over the effective collapse of the global-warming charade is further illustrated by this bizarre exchange with a reader:
Eric wrote:
What does all this mean? Well, even if every country met its pledge from Copenhagen, according to the Sustainability Institute global temperatures would still rise by 3.7 degrees Celsius

Hmmmmm, why is Eric quoting this "prediction" as fact???? We can't even predict weather, much less climate............Posted by: Old Gringo Stan at February 16, 2010 01:55 PM
Stan,
Hmmmmm, why is Eric quoting this "prediction" as fact???
I'm not quoting the statement as fact. It was merely to illustrate that even if all of the proposals on the table are acted upon, according to climate scientists, they would not have a significant effect.
Eric
It's not a fact, merely an illustration assumed to be a fact to make a point.... Got that?
If not, you're probably just a captive of the skepticism plank of the Republican Party!
Let's hope the next stage of grief (anger) over the collapse of the manufactured global-warming consensus is brief (since the newspaper is already bleeding readers, and we prefer that enough ads can continue to be sold to keep paying for those remaining metro desk reporters gathering actual news).
