Sense from Von Storch

JC comments:  I completely agree with Von Storch's statements, and he and his colleagues are to be commended for actually trying to understand climate skepticism and skeptics.  I also agree that attempts to placate skeptics such as at skepticalscience.com aren't terribly effective.  There are many complex, unsettled issues that require much more research.  People with questions often do not even get a "stroppy reply;" they are merely dismissed as "deniers."  IMO, actual dialogue with skeptics (enabled by the blogosphere) is one of the best ways to increase understanding.
