No Signatures on Stealth Denial Website

Here’ s a chilling little website, a totally anonymous exploration of โ€œscienceโ€ that asks, hopefully, โ€œAre we doing things that speed up this (climate) cycle or perhaps is global warming slowing the onset of the next iceย age?โ€

The site is called โ€œIs Canada Ready,โ€ and it seems calculated to make readersย feel:

a) that climate cycles operate independent of human activity (read: it’s not your fault);ย and

b) that we’re on the verge of a global cooling catastrophe that we might prevent by continuing to pump CO2 into theย atmosphere.

Absent any mention of a funding source or a single credentialed contributor, you have to take the site with a truckload of salt. But it looks relatively credible and assumes a moderate tone – a phony even-handedness – that seems intended to draw in theย unwary.

So โ€ฆ beย wary.
