So...my last post, "The Deniers' Last Stand," has had quite a lot of incoming traffic from ClimateDepot. I guess Mark Morano over there somehow thinks I help him make his point--which, presumably, is that journalists are biased against global warming skeptics, who are really just on a quest to uncover the truth and ask the hard questions. Yet if Morano sees me as Exhibit A of his argument, I see him the same way in making one of mine--namely, that the Internet is just as hospitable a place for people who attack mainstream science as for those who defend it, and thus no salvation for science at a time when it is vanishing from the mainstream media. The army of climate skeptics descending here via Morano's link, posting comments making claims that have been soundly refuted a gazillion times, amply underscore that fact. Morano's followers can post as may comments ...
Thanks for the Traffic, Morano
Global warming skeptics challenge mainstream science, yet the Internet fuels claims by climate skeptics. Uncover the truth behind the debate.
