My Unhappy Life as a Climate Heretic
The author&#x27;s claim is this,  and if true there is merit to listening ---  Indeed there is rarely merit to not listening.  Science is all about observation and probability. EDIT: although clever political framing can skew naive readers away from truths, which is one of the article&#x27;s  meta topics. ---<p>&quot;I believe climate change is real and that human emissions of greenhouse gases risk justifying action, including a carbon tax. But my research led me to a conclusion that many climate campaigners find unacceptable: There is scant evidence to indicate that hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or drought have become more frequent or intense in the U.S. or globally. In fact we are in an era of good fortune when it comes to extreme weather. This is a topic I’ve studied and published on as much as anyone over two decades. My conclusion might be wrong, but I think I’ve earned the right to share this research without risk to my career.&quot;
