Warmist Keith Kloor: "for too long a tyranny of thought has reigned in certain quarters of the climate debate, which has effectively marginalized voices that have dissented from majority opinion"

I don’t envision a future where hearty discussions of climate science are ever sidelined. The issue is sure to be aired for years to come– in the halls of Congress, in newspaper op-ed pages, and across the blogosphere.

Which is a good thing. I desire a full, inclusive debate, in which all reasonable voices get a fair hearing. The irony of some of the complaints about the climate pragmatism approach is that for too long a tyranny of thought has reigned in certain quarters of the climate debate, which has effectively marginalized voices that have dissented from majority opinion. At times, this tyranny has been enforced in the ugliest manner.

That has not been healthy for the larger climate debate.
