“In my view, it is no longer acceptable for scientists to remain on the sidelines.”
From Professor Michael Mann, an editorial at The New York Times. Hat tip to RealClimate. One thing: I’m still struggling with “rules of engagement”. Do we give deniers the dignity of open debate? Diligence, yes. But smart diligence.
