    Andrew Dessler is one of the five climate scientists who originally fact-checked the CO2 Coalition’s op-ed by Pat Michaels. It was “complete bullshit,” he said. “We gave it a bad review, which it 100 percent deserved.”

Heyyyy, I've met him! His dad, Alex, is one of the pioneers of space physics. For Alex's 90th birthday, he wanted... a series of lectures... lasting all day. Andrew's lecture on climate change was the last of the day, and I gotta say, I hope there is never a more depressing end to a birthday "party".

It's too bad fuckbook will probably cease to exist by the time society is ready to take them to the cleaners in court, and dump any settlement/penalty payments into a climate change initiative fund.
