WaPo: The scientific finding that settles the climate-change debate

[wtmusic]

For the clueless or cynical diehards who deny global warming, it’s getting awfully cold out there.

The latest icy blast of reality comes from an eminent scientist whom the climate-change skeptics once lauded as one of their own. Richard Muller, a respected physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, used to dismiss alarmist climate research as being “polluted by political and activist frenzy.” Frustrated at what he considered shoddy science, Muller launched his own comprehensive study to set the record straight. Instead, the record set him straight.

“Global warming is real,” Muller wrote last week in The Wall Street Journal."

This information has been reported here, but WaPo steps up to the plate by putting it in no uncertain terms. Joe Romm says, "WARNING: Read the more than 1000 comments on that piece with a head vise on."

who have cited Muller as gospel. All those jackasses are now cordially invited to kiss my ass; line forms at the rear.
