In the Science Background sectionย of the The Friends of Science website, the authors go to extremes to argue that climate change is NOT occurring, and then they sayย this:
โPossible Explanations For Global Climateย Change:
โIf the burning of fossil fuels was not the cause of earlier changes in climate, what might the possibilitiesย be?โ
They then offer four โexplanationsโ for who, only moments before, they were arguing was non-existent climate change: Two of those explanation (outdated theorizing about sunspot activity and polar ice caps) have been discredited; one of which seems in no way relevant in the current instance (orbital wobble) andย the last of which isย this:
โOcean Currents: Currents are critical agents in the distribution of heat across the Earth’s surface. Broecker and more recently, Gagosian of the Woods Hole Institute, have highlighted the possibility that a reorganization of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic might cause an abrupt cooling in North America and inย Europe.โ
Would it not have been relevant to mention that the Woods Hole Institute’s research indicated that anthropogenic climate change was the cause of the โreorganization of the Gulf Stream.โ? In choosing NOT to mention that fact, were the authors being careless orย mendacious?
And is all this considered โfriendlyโ toย science?ย
