Want to frustrate your local climate change deniers and their pseudo-scientific blather with hard facts and clever rejoinders?
The folks at Real Climate — a plain language web site about published by actual climate scientists — have launched a wiki with keyword searches and quick links to critiques, responses, explanations and sources.
The RC Wiki “is primarily an index for debunking of various popular media occurrences of climate-related nonsense,” according to its introduction.
“We do not include mainstream journalist pieces that are occasionally mistaken or somewhat sensationalist (see the main website for that kind of commentary), but we do include the op-ed pieces that are specifically designed to confuse, obfuscate and abuse the science.”
The scientists posting on RealClimate.org regularly deflate the propaganda and outright mistakes floated by both cynical climate change deniers and the very few sincere skeptics that remain. It’s also worth reading for the lively comments that follow each new article.
