Lukewarm article showing a climate skeptic–a darling of the radical right wing corporate paid skeptical minions–had to do a whoopsie about the fact climate change scientists may actually have gotten it right.

Interesting that even a claimant to science financed by the Koch brothers seems capable of transcending the BS when hammered over the head with hard data. It is time for the anti-science members of congress to be tossed out on their ears, and hopefully smash their Kochleas.

The BEST report is purely an estimate of planetary warming, and it makes no estimate of how much this warming is due to human activity. So in one ... More »
