Climate change efforts don’t need idea police

Rather than try to explain that complexity to the presumably simple-minded public, at least some want to draw a black-and-white, all-skeptics-are-idiots picture of the controversy.

To dismiss this as “behaving badly” shows unparalleled ignorance of what science is supposed to be all about, namely empiricism, not bias and fraud, which is exactly what the global warming movement has now come to represent.
