No, that's just cognitive dissonance on your part. Don't even bother trying to pretend you're in a position to declare what's what.

It is YOUR side that has declared the AGW argument is over, and furthermore, your side has changed the definition of climate change, equating it with global warming, even though "change" means hotter AND colder, aka "different".
That is because what few so called scientists that are deniers are bought and paid for by the fossil fuel companies.

A think tank partly funded by Exxon Mobil sent letters to scientists offering them up to $10,000 to critique findings in a major global warming study released Friday which found that global warming was real and likely caused by burning fossil fuels.

I don't even get what is behind "normal" citizens trying to say human activity isn't affecting the environment. Unless you work for petrochemical companies why ISN'T reducing waste, finding renewable energy sources, and reducing chemical emissions in the air and water a good thing? They seem like the kind of people who would burn tires on Arbor Day just to stick it nature. Why all the rancor towards conservation and improving our planet?

Taking man-made climate change out of it, why all the fervor? What did a tree ever do to you?

Meaningless to denialists, yes. To a denialist, anything that parrots Republican garbage is science and science that doesn't parrot Republican garbage is a hoax.
Calm down..Calm down...To all the Global warming cults out there don't worry if global warming is hoax. You can still have meaning to your lying pathetic lives. Get a career in sales I can always use good low life salesman.

To answer your question, climate changes was not his expertise. He is a brilliant man, but it seems like his issues with climate change studies is he doesn't approve of the computer information that scientists are using to calculate their numbers.
Then you failed to note that in the article it stated that 30 years ago he was already studying climate change, so yes, it IS in his area of expertise, with 30 years of experience.

If you would like I can try and find the interview transcript where Dyson himself said he wasn't an expert in climate change. Though I am not discrediting any research he has done in it or his understanding of climate change. Dyson himself has even stated climate change is happening through global warming.

I already know denialists say things, what I'd like is evidence these claims have merit. Showing me other denialists making the same claims doesn't constitute this evidence.

But don't let that stop you from shilling your blog.
Quodd erat demonstratum est!!!!! Which is why I dont believe half the stuff written on THIS blog site. The LIBERAL half!!!
