I suppose it shouldn't be surprising...but really!! This is simply anti science surely?? At worst, state sponsored brain washing!!


Anyone out there furthering Misinformation.....the Thought Police are coming for you  

"this resource contains no climate science content of its own."

"This activity contributes a very important aspect that is not found in may other teaching materials - how to provide students with tools of discussing climate change with deniers."

"Educator should be knowledgeable about typical climate denier arguments."

Will have to see which papers they hand picked.

This is an interesting study in what the paper said, verses what the AGW folks "think" it said.

"We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming." Read that closely: it's not 97% of scientists endorsing AGW, but 97.1% of the 33.3% of the abstracts of papers that took a position on AGW.
