The turning point—it’s becoming chic to be a skeptic | JoNova

This must be it, surely, the point where being a skeptic has more scientific cachet than being a believer. The trickle is becoming a flood. We are reaching the stage where independent scientists will want to make sure they are known to be on the skeptical side of the fence.

None other than James Hansens former supervisor at NASA has just announced that not only is he a skeptic, but that Hansen is an embarrassment to NASA and was never muzzled.
...
The momentum is growing. History will record this cold northern winter as the season when being known as a skeptic became scientifically hip, and being labelled a ‘believer’—scientifically uncool (as it should be) .

I say: scientists everywhere, be proud of our standards, stand up and be counted. Rise against Dark-Age-reasoning, political pressure and the call of government grants.

Do these "scientists" really know more than you do about the causes of climate change?: Butterflies Across Europe Face Crisis As Climate Change Looms

The Climatic Risk Atlas of European Butterflies is based on the work of scores of scientists from across Europe. They applied climate change models to data collected by tens of thousands of volunteers. The authors say that some climate change is now inevitable and that the extent of the losses will depend on the degree of that change and how we respond to the new threat.

But measuring greenhouse gases is NOT the same thing as measuring global "warming": "Greenhouse Gas Probing Satellite to Measure Global Warming"

While thousands of people spout hot air about whether there's any such thing as global warming, Japanese space-scientists have launched a satellite to accurately measure it. That's why they're awesome space-scientists while the others are busy misspelling their angry comments. The Ibuki satellite has successfully deployed its solar panels and is all set to watch us for the next five years.

The Ibuki is armed with optical sensors which can measure methane and carbon dioxide levels...
