I have long felt that there is a sad similarity between Climate Change and Witch Trials. At the end of her trial a witch was often thrown into a river or lake, with weights attached to her ankles or neck. If she drowned, she was not a witch and people would pray for her, but if she miraculously survived she was proven to be in league with the devil and burned.

Those who think that 95% of all scientists can’t be wrong, and that the evidence of manmade, or at least man-aggravated, climate change is real and overwhelming, really can’t win. When the building is burning one does not assign blame, one joins the bucket line and saves what can be saved.
