Wrongway Roger is wrong about our climate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our climate, nor would there be anything we could do about it if there were, because our effect on it if it exists, is minimal.

Consensus science?

Well, he made reasonable sense up until he said: Consensus science. Then my ‘political scientist’ alarm went off.

Pielke Jr is a political economist, despite being introduced in the video as a climate scientist.

A shame, but he seems to be another Lomborg.
