Hat tip to I Heart Climate Scientists

Quote of the Week

There has always been an odd tenor to discussions among climate scientists, policy wonks, and politicians, a passive-aggressive quality, and I think it can be traced to the fact that everyone involved has to dance around the obvious truth, at risk of losing their status and influence.

The obvious truth about global warming is this: barring miracles, humanity is in for some awful shit.

The awful truth about climate change no one wants to admit by David Roberts, Vox, May 15, 2015

SkS in the News

In his Bad Astronomy/Slate post, What If Climate Change Is Real?, Phil Plait tells his readers to check out SkS. Here's the operative paragraph:

And when you’re done watching, head over to Skeptical Science to get more info on the points she mentioned, as well as many, many others. You’ll find the science there, as well as debunkings of denial talking points.

Thank you Phil!
