- akhilcacharya 9y agoThe "climate change orthodoxy" is the scientific consensus.

- dekhn 9y agoThe NY Times has been printing op eds that are the opposite of the paper's editors political philosophy. See for example, this William F Buckley editorial suggesting we should tattoo a letter 'A' on the backside of gay men with HIV/AIDS: http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/16/specials/buckley-aids.html http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/16/specials/buckley-aids.... There's nothing recent about this. Also, I think we should have the strongest written rebuttals to climate change that we can have, from an intellectual honesty point of view.
