Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand

This is newly released and has been written by John Cook and Haydn Washington of the Skeptical Science blog site.

It's an excellent discussion of why and how anthropologic climate change is down-played or even rejected in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence.

Quite possibly - grammar is not my strong point although I think my meaning was clear which I believe is what matters.

[StuartG]

Your meaning was clear, mine wasn't, here's what I meant
kin·dle 1 (kndl)
v. kin·dled, kin·dling, kin·dles
v.tr.
1.
a. To build or fuel (a fire).
b. To set fire to; ignite.
2. To cause to glow; light up: The sunset kindled the skies.
3. To arouse (an emotion, for example): "No spark had yet kindled in him an intellectual passion" (George Eliot).
v.intr.
1. To catch fire; burst into flame.
2. To become bright; glow.
3. To become inflamed.
4. To be stirred up; rise.
[Middle English kindelen (influenced by kindelen, to give birth to, cause), probably from Old Norse kynda.

Book buring has, in the past, been associated with "efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are perceived as posing a threat to the prevailing order"

Yep, and note my posts on 'mutilation' elsewhere on these boards. I should have called my post there 'Just William'.

Pal-review by the "consensus" and tendentious obstacles to publication in journals have much the same effect.
