I found WUWT years ago when I was looking into AGW. I spent 10 years reading there, and the only reason I stopped was that I concluded that, yes indeed, the entire thing is the largest scientific fraud in human history. I gave up trying to convince people of that, because by then, AGW was the new religion.
I highly recommend Watts Up With That.
Watt’s Up With That is good for the lay reader.
If you have some science chops, Judith Curry’s “Climate, etc.” is a better choice. She has some very capable readers.
Sounds like you aren’t a regular WUWT reader … because the scientific scholarship of the commenters is without equal. You may be distracted by the fact they welcome political commentary as well … so science outsiders like me can still comment … and try to grasp the minutiae of the science.
I saw this the other day and was going to post something at SDA reader tips but I am so damned busy. I’m glad Kate is there for everyone.
