    Now a Parade of Crackpots

    Imagine my complete lack of surprise, when looking into Sail's latest "argument", that I find it's a cut and paste from "co2science.org," another oil funded think-tank that throws rocks at other scientists, but does no real science of their own.

    Does it make predictions? If the answer is no, it ain't a scientist. It's an easy test.

    CO2Science.org is yet another vanity organization that self-publishes a variety of contrarian nonsense, does no field experimentation, does not make accurate predictions, and never publishes in reputable journals like Science or Nature.
