Reply to article: Kenneth Haapala: Response to: A Map of Organized Climate Change Denial by Andrew Revkin | Climate Realists
Revkin reveals his bias by his sources. The reference to the statement: “That there are such well-financed and coordinated efforts is not contentious.” is an article dated April 26, 1998. The article describes a draft plan, which, if implemented, had a media relations budget of $600,000 to fight adoption of the Kyoto Treaty. This is hardly compelling evidence of heavy funding. Revkin presents no evidence that the plan was funded or implemented. [See Article below]

Science is not a democracy. Scientific knowledge does not advance by consensus. It does not advance at all if statements and hypotheses claimed to be scientific are, in a fundamental sense, unfalsifiable; or if they make predictions (or projections) so distant, ambiguous or absurd they are meaningless.
