My Skepticism Melts Like Snow In December

The plural of "anecdote" is not "data," but it is harder to maintain my anthropogenic global warming skepticism when I'm about to go walk the dog in a tee shirt because its 50 degrees F at 9:30 am on December 18.

On the other hand, trying to convince me that agw is a bad thing is just getting harder and harder.

Shouldn't you be out skipping the dog?

It's only (potentially) bad for the Netherlands and Bangladesh.

See, you're making the classic mistake of presuming AGW from evidence of GW. There are a lot of climatologists who believe we are experiencing the latter but not the former (even the UN is now starting to agree with that).

Ah, here's the link.

Actually, I come down at it's about one-third us, one-third chance variation and one-third long-term natural trends. I don't think that there's much we can do about it and that it probably will turn out to be better for everyone -- except Tuvalu and Bangladesh.
