dan, see the whole piece first, then judge. Your characterisation doesn't fit it well. I've just re- Archived Message

read it all, and that's not an accurate description. Dmitry has never denied that there's a climate shift going on, nor that it's going to get horrendously hairy. But he has cogent - and closely relevant - observations to offer about the current panic-generation. Essentially: making exact, highly-accurate predictions about such a complex system as the Earth's climate is simply beyond us right now, and is likely to stay there permanently.
The sober truth is that we just don't know in detail how it's going to pan out.
But neither Dmitry nor those such as me who applaud his take are denialists; we're just members of that awkward-squad community who are willing to admit it when the strictly correct - but horribly emotionally-unsatisfying - response is: 'We just don't know enough to stake out utter certainties. And until hindsight takes over, we never will.'
PS: The board clock is now an hour slow. Cheers dan!
