I do not dispute your contention that the climate change issue is principally political at this point, bent on turning our energy-driven economy upside down. I hate sloppy science, especially when the result of that sloppy science propels an agenda.
I will not concede there is anthropogenic climate change, but I suppose I could keep my mouth shut and hope the tacticians on the right side of the argument can swing the political tide :)
Depends on your goal. Do you want to sway opinion or do you want to prove you’re right? Two different things. Sometimes you can prove your case and lose the argument.
