to a 6-minute conversation about the conference and its speakers. He makes the interesting point that although he has recently converted to the ranks of โ€œbelieversโ€ in climate change, he feels odd using that term, because he says that once the scientific evidence is in, it makes no more sense to say that you are โ€œbelieveโ€ in global warming than that you believe in gravity. It’s just the way it is.

Someone should tell that to all the โ€œskepticsโ€ out there who try to spin it differentlyโ€ฆ
