How I Learned Not to Deny Climate Change

excerpts:

• The term "climate change denier" is obviously objectionable because of the word "denier." That word is carried over from the phrase "Holocaust denial" and is meant to smear global warming skeptics
• We understand that the climate is changing and that it has always been changing.
• The alarmists who warn about recent man-made global warming are the ones who deny the reality of climate change. They are, in fact, advocates of climate stasis.
• Henrik Svensmark has once again driven straight through this gap in their theory.
  
  Svensmark's theory of climate change, you may recall, began by targeting a glaring gap in the global warming theory: the inability to account for cloud-formation and its effect on climate.
• A key element of this theory, the effect of cosmic rays in creating aerosols in the atmosphere, was recently demonstrated
• Supernovas create a massive flux of cosmic rays.
• So over geological time, the Earth is exposed to widely varying levels of cosmic radiation.
• the measure of a good scientific theory, particularly on a topic this complex, is its ability to integrate knowledge from many other fields. Svensmark has made an impressive effort to do so. In the process, he has already broken the claim of the man-made global warming "consensus" to be the only scientific explanation of the climate.

Comment:

That blasts to bits my idea that to argue about climate change was a waste of time.  Could it be that this fellow has found a killer argument that explains climate change over geologic time, and therefore, explains our climate today?

Anyhow, the title reminds me of the movie, although that is a bit pointless.  What the heck?
