The 'lukewarmers' show how environmentalists are in denial about denial

When I called Knappenburger, a climate scientist with the free-market Cato Institute, he told me the term is a more accurate representation of the views of those scientists often derided as "climate deniers."
"We're not denying that there is man-made climate change," he said. "We're saying it will be relatively modest and something we can live with."
That argument has also been put forth by a couple of Princeton scientists who are among the smartest people on the planet, Princeton physics professor William Happer and Freeman Dyson, who's been at the Institute for Advanced Studies since Einstein roamed the grounds.
The "lukewarmist" view is that atmospheric carbon dioxide has some good effects that may outweigh any negative effects.
"I expect about 1.5 degrees Centigrade of warming across this century - an amount that should be readily adapted to and overall non-disruptive, but will include winners and losers," he said. "The U.S. contribution to that overall warming will be about a tenth of a degree."

Well......sure cant be debated given whats going on in the real world: EPA budgets being slashed and climate change funding all but being eliminated. US funding to the UN on climate change ripped to shreads.
There is a new prevailing wisdom s0ns........designer science is now a thing of the past.
