Don't link to WUWT if you want to be taken seriously.
- newnewnew 13y agoForce skeptics to outer circles, and then ridicule anything that doesn't come from the inner circle. It's an incredibly effective way at insulating the brain from inconvenient argument.
- stirbot 13y agoIf they have legitimate science to contribute there are plenty of channels for that. I've spent way too much time on WUWT. There is very little discussion of science or statistics. It mainly focuses on politics, individuals (Mann, Gore, etc.) and nitpicking over insignificant errors. Within a few hours topics will range from: climate change isn't happening to it is happening but it's not caused by humans to it's us but it will be beneficial and back again. Users are banned and occasionally dox'd for contrarian comments on that site, so if you're concerned about 'insulating the brain from inconvenient argument', you shouldn't support WUWT.
