Look: the climate skeptics are pretty well identified. I can SEE what's happening in the world and climate disasters ARE bigger, more frequent and getting worse. We've wasted too much time talking and our time for lying to ourselves and each other is over.

If you have serious questions, don't ask me. Ask an actual climate scientist. I'd recommend you post your question to Michael E. Mann. He's decided to focus on climate communications now.

I don't have the patience for it.

Jim—I have no beef with you and don't doubt your sincerity. But we are in different places. Each of us has our own path.
