"Global warming caused by CO2 bullshit. It is an emperors new clothes scenario run amok."


"How much? Where? All that is speculation, an excuse for inaccurate predictions.
Why is Antarctic ice increasing in this hotter ocean?"



Now this is interesting. They now stud why people like Edgar don't believe in climate change despite the overwhelming evidence, and the fact they are experiencing the impact themselves. Have a read of this fascinating article on the subject: Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science?

This doesn't cover those who's motivations for contesting science may be less innocent and more disturbing (the hydrocarbon industry, creationists, ISIS etc) but it does give insight into how these ideas are formed.

So we need the Edgar's of this world too teach us why we often think the way we do. What we don't need is them buggering it up for the rest of us because of their endless personal incredulity and witless gullibility.
