Climate change proponents battered by inaccurate scientific claims | CAIVN

In my opinion, climate change is happening. However, the recent spate of well-documented reports of evasions, stonewalling, and sloppy research about global warming has certainly damaged credibility. What was supposed to be impartial science has been shown on at least three occasions to be anything but that. But, maybe the important thing about renewable energy and cleantech isn’t so much whether climate change is happening, but how it can help us as a country. More on that after these reports of climate change scientists being, ahem, less than objective.

The extreme politicization of the climate change debate here in the US mirrors our politics at large. This simply isn’t an issue elsewhere.
