Oreskes: How Do We Know We're Not Wrong
A little off-topic, but the title of the Fox article is "Global Warming: How Do Scientists Know They're Not Wrong?" and they prominently feature comments by Naomi Oreskes.
Oreskes recently made a presentation to the American Meteorological Society entitled "The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change: How Do We Know We're Not Wrong". The slides are here http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/Presentations/Oreskes%20Presentation%20for%20Web.pdf
It is also the name of a chapter in her new book, available here http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/documents/Chapter4.pdf
I find the Powerpoint presentation slides a little "busy", but for those that want to understand this issue further - it's good stuff.

Thanks!
Absolutely love Dr. Oreskes. She was in Vancouver a while ago and we took her out on the town. I will definitely check out these links.
shocking
It's really amazing to see Fox News doing, well, news. I had heard they were going to go green in their office buildings but to actually report science as science.... That's astounding. Maybe Murdoch cares about his kids and grandchildren.
No comment, til the Junk Science is gone
It's just to easy to rip Fox New and so hard to compliment them, so confused. As far as I'm concerned they will not have thoroughly turned the corner until they throw Steve Milloy off the air.
