So again: here we are with a disagreement on the science of climate change. The science, not the politics. On the one hand the organization set up by Lincoln to give Congress and the American people the best possible scientific advice.
On the other hand we have an anonymous clown with a keyboard and an Internet account.
I again confess, I don't find this a hard call.
