Walt has published an excellent response to an article published by suedo-scientific fascist, Richard Somerville. Walt displays some excellent writing skills and logical level-headed thinking as he rips the idiot Somerville to shreds. Wlat also has a great line i would like to poach, with his permission of course: "they are tongue-in-groove buttlickers for the political appointees they report to" "As a public employee myself, I know how these things happen: a committee is appointed, not because of their expertise, but because they are tongue-in-groove buttlickers for the political appointees they report to.

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, has published an article entitled, "A Response to Climate Change Denialism". The article is pure politics-and-religion style campaign literature. This on a site that is paid for by Californians' taxes. It is reproduced below in its entirety, both to preserve the evidence, and to facilitate commentary.
