On Global Warming by a Scientist
In this article Bill McKibben analyzes the tactics used by those denying the global warming effect.
He first compares with much clarity the strategy with that of OJ Simpson laywers and goes on arguing in different ways.
If you're smart, you can also take advantage of lucky breaks that cross your path. Say a record set of snowstorms hit Washington D.C. It won't even matter that such a record is just the kind of thing scientists have been predicting, given the extra water vapor global warming is adding to the atmosphere.
He also addresses issues such as partisanship and others.
The columnist David Brooks, for instance, recently said: "On the one hand, I totally accept the scientific authorities who say that global warming is real and it is manmade. On the other hand, I feel a frisson of pleasure when I come across evidence that contradicts the models… [in part] because I relish any fact that might make Al Gore look silly."
A gem of an article overall.
