He's suing because he was deliberately compared to a
convicted
paedophile.
If you disagree with his science, then do some research,
publish some papers, and prove him wrong.
The character assassination
attempts by the NR & others
have no bearing on the science whatsoever. In
fact, even
if, somehow, in contradiction to the last 14 years of
published
climate research by hundreds of scientists, you
did manage to "disprove"
the hockey stick graph, that
would have no bearing on whether or not humans
are
causing climate change.
Physics is, you know, physics. You can
smear the
reputations of all the scientists you want, but a molecule
of CO2
will still absorb infrared radiation, and burning
fossil fuels will still
release CO2 into the atmosphere...
Climate science isn't a house of
cards, where pulling one
card will cause the whole thing to collapse. It's
more like
a pyramid built of thousand-ton blocks of granite. Removing
one of
those blocks would take a phenomenal amount of
effort, and after all that, the
rest of the pyramid would
just sit there, the same way it did before. And
you'd
probably find some pesky scientist would come up with a
better
hypothesis within a few months or years that would
effectively create a brand
new chunk of granite to neatly
plug the hole you made.
That's science.
It works.
