Careful, you'll fall foul of fashionable thought and the marauding thoughtcrime enforcers. Questioning that perhaps modelled climate sensitivity to co2 has been well overstated will get you branded a heretic, a denier and earns bucket full of down votes. [1]. Even obliquely hinting that past history of scientific theorems have proven themselves to be wrong despite widespread support is dangerous territory, lest one question the 'consensus' of our times.

- PhasmaFelis 12y agoFor the record, I'm voting you down for your annoyingly smug persecution complex, not for your opinion on climate models.
- kuni-toko-tachi 12y agoBrc's assessment is 100% correct. The bombastic tone of the "climate change" cult is disturbing hostile. That is because climate change proponents use propaganda to advance their self-interests. This is no different then the other disturbingly condensending and deliberately polarizing tactics then use to advance other left wing fictions. This is politics, not science.
- brc 12y agoI don't care about up-votes or down votes. I hope 1 person reads my comments and thinks. Look at the parent comment - it uses name calling and labels to advance the argument. That is not science. The entire topic was raised as possibly heretical in case someone might suspect this pointed to anything but a complete and utter belief in co2 as the planetary thermostat. People need to back away from the political bandwagon on this and start using their heads again.
