Global warming makes me buy "snow tires" - HinesSight
I'm not kidding, despite the title of this blog post. This year I really am strongly leaning toward getting snow tires for my 2011 Mini Cooper S, and part of the reason is global warming.Climate sceptic? You're probably a 'Birther', don't vaccinate your kids • The Register
Obviously being only a psychologist Lewandowsky has nothing useful to tell us as to whether the menace posed by greenhouse gas emissions has been overblown, or not. Rather more disappointingly for the taxpayers who support him, he doesn't seem to have much grasp of psychology either: unless of course it was always his plan to trigger a storm of outrage and a serious hardening of attitudes among the climate-sceptics of the world. But since he claims to be trying to develop ways of winning them over, it seems more likely that he's just really bad at his job.Press and Journal - Article - Climate-change centre gets new United Nations home
This is not even to mention the way he (and all too many of his fellow fuzzy-studies academics) are slowly but surely discrediting the terms "scientist" and "peer review". This sort of tripe - basically an amazingly lengthy and turgid rant to the effect that if you don't agree you must be a Nazi or something: the argumentum ad hominem applied shotgun style to all the members of an entire school of thought, topped off with some everyday marketing homilies - this isn't science. If it was, which we would not for a moment accept, science would be bullshit and scientists not worth listening to.

I'm a professional artist by trade. My peer circles are rife with rampant CAGW believers who also ascribe heavily to homeopathy, feng shui, "chi", chakras, organic non-GM foods, crystals, healing touch, ghosts, mediums, psychics, and every other woo-woo belief out there, including that we're all going to die this year because the Mayan calender stops there. And they claim there is scientific "proof" for all of it. Now, when Lewandowsky comes along and claims that skeptics believe in these same things, it's easy to show him that the majority of people I know who believe in CAGW also fervently believe in woo. Skeptics I know are... well... skeptical.
