Climate Change Denier Releases Study that, in Effect, says “I was Wrong”

I know, why would this piss me (someone who has long accepted the Global Climate Change is happening and is largely caused by humans) off?

Because it won’t change anything.  No amount of data proving that climate change is happening will convince those who believe otherwise.

Not even when that data actually convinces a skeptical scientist.  Unless 100% of scientists agree on climate change, the deniers will always have someone on their side.  No matter that 97% (or more) of climatologists – the people whose field of expertise most closely focuses on climate change science – believe climate change is real and caused by humans.  If one climatologist says differently, we still have a “controversy.”

I don’t blog much about climate change science because I know a lot of deniers and they are smart people who, I believe, are completely wrong on this one topic.  My fear is the longer we argue, the more damage we are doing.  That is a fear shared by many scientists who know a lot more about this shit than me.
