Be a Climate Change Skeptic skeptic!
February 16th, 2010Climate change huh! Some people care, some people don’t and lots have heard far more about it then they want to. Me, I’m going to set my stall out and say that I think climate change is a big issue that the world is going to have to deal with, just so people know where I’m coming from. Having said that I understand people having doubts. The science, mainly based on the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is being challenged and part of this challenge is that the skeptics are attacking the motivations of the scientists involved in the IPCC. Things like they are protecting their jobs, their research grants, reputations etc. All of these might have some validity and are worthy of consideration but I would ask people, in the pursuit of balance, to question the motivations of the skeptics as well. What do they have to gain by their opposition to any action on climate change?
