I'm a big fan of science, all my degrees are in science. I have a horror of ignorance. I hate big business and misinformation as much as the next guy. I have kids, if AGW is real, then it's not just me I'm hurting by doubting it.
This is not a knee-jerk reaction for me, I have been interested and supportive of ecological movements for years and years, and I'm supportive of renewable energy, recycling, getting rid of fossil fuels, all that good stuff. I'm a fan of taxing polluters, and forcing them by law to clean up their wastefulness.
What I resent is because I don't believe the "science is settled" then I'm lumped in with lunatics and right-wingers. There doesn't seem to be a camp for "ok, let's do this stuff anyway, because it's a good idea regardless, but can we please get back to good science, reasoned debate, without namecalling, deceit, and leave out the politicisation of science"
