Regina Newspaper Calls on Skeptics to Put Their Money Where There Mouth Is

Local Regina publication, Prairie Dog Magazine, is laying down the gauntlet by asking climate change skeptics to record their doubts onย paper.

The magazine has created a declaration that outlines various scenarios for rejecting scientific consensus and has mailed it to several public figures who have openly expressed skepticism on the issue of global warming, including Stephen Harper, Margaret Wente, Rex Murphy, Tim Ball and Ross McKitrick amongstย others.ย 

The plan to check in with the skeptics in 10 years is all about โ€œaccountabilityโ€ and the magazine states that should they be wrong they will give credit where credit is due. And if theyโ€™re rightโ€ฆ..itโ€™s a sad bet toย win.
