Posted by Josh Rosenau on November 23, 2009 Just back from Egypt, and still not ready for craziness. So please no one steal a lot of emails from climate scientists and try to dishonestly present a few snippets from them as evidence of a global conspiracy, OK?
Also, could everyone stop blogging for a day or two, just until I catch up? Thanks.
This thing has legs and it’s getting ridiculous. I have Facebook friends sending me op-eds from the Wall Street Journal that they believe prove all of climate science is a fraud. I know a lot about evolutionary biology, but very little about climate change, and I’m certain I’m going to get dragged into any number of arguments about this. I look forward to a lot of debunking (although I haven’t seen a clear picture of what scientists are supposed to debunk: something about deleted emails, using different sets of data to make other data sets make sense, and tax fraud). By the way, I probably know a lot about evolution thanks to NCSE. Thank you.

When not battling creationists or modeling species ranges, he writes about developments in progressive politics and the sciences.
