File under ARRRGH: Now there’s a Monckton/Lindzen Climate Denialism APP
When the iPhone app first came out, some sceptics wistfully wished for their own iPhone app. I was curious to see such a thing myself. The cherrypicking nature of climate scepticism leads to an interesting phenomenon – sceptic arguments frequently contradict each other. One week, we’re told El Nino is the cause. Next week, it’s cosmic rays. No wait, we’re cooling… Hold on, it’s warming again, but this time, it’s because of CFCs. Could anyone compile the many sceptic arguments into a single app without a mess of contradictions?
Now we can find out. An iPhone app, Our Climate has just been released with contributors including notable sceptics such as Richard Lindzen, Roy Spencer and even the UK’s own Lord Christopher Monckton.
