To: Paradox; driftless2; syriacus

I think rather than being classed as "deniers" many Freepers agree with what driftless2 and syriacus were saying up the thread, that when people try to shut down debate of a controversial topic, criminalizing opinion on the other side, and refuse to answer pertinent objections, their belief cries out for increased scrutiny. Those aren't generally the actions of someone who has the facts on their side.

I'm one of those, a skeptic of GW, but also a skeptic of the skepticism.

Exactly. Like the man says in the article above, the best (and most honest) answer to many of questions we have about the climate today is "we don't know." Human-caused global warming may be real, or not. But if it is real and the projections (even the more moderate ones) are correct, can, and should, we try to do anything about it? And how much are we willing to spend to deal with something that only might be true?
