New Years Resolution: No more climate change "debates" with disingenuous deniers - Red, Green, and Blue
I no longer debate global warming and climate change. When I’m confronted with a denier, I ask how either of us, not being experts in the field, could ever hope to resolve a climate science debate? Nothing gets accomplished and this usually shuts down deniers completely. If they keep going, I ask ...
