More Psychobabble About Why Skeptics reject Alarmist Ideology.

Revkin reports on another attempt to ascertain what is mentally wrong with those who refuse to accept a failed theory based on faulty data . He arrogantly assumes that those who disagree with him have some sort of mental inadequacy which he does not suffer from, along with his left-wing, more intelligent-than-us , friends  . 

The research, by Matthew Feinberg and Robb Willer, reinforces the case that a large part of the climate challenge is not out in the world of eroding glaciers and  limited energy choices, but inside the human mind.

There’s the “ finite pool of worry” ( Did we pay the rent this month?). There’s “single action bias” ( I changed bulbs; all set.) There are powerful internal filters ( dare I say blinders?) that shape how different people see the same body of information.
Of course skeptics include dimwits like Freeman Dyson or Richard Lindzen  and I guess that I for one am proud to wear the same blinders that they do.
