The comments in response to that article are a microcosm of the problems we've seen with this debate. When this issue entered the public consciousness it was as if everyone had made their minds up before there was any evidence for or against AGW. There's evidence for and against, and instead of doing analysis we seem to just be slamming the table, condescendingly dismissing dissent and calling each other names. Of course there are probably people out there doing real science, but from what I can see (ok, from the media) it's people making up their minds and then finding the data to back it up. That's not science. I thought Lomborg's initial stance was refreshing. Hopefully it's just the media making drama out of it and real work is being done to get to the bottom of it. Here's to hope.
