Well, this would explain why the convinced don’t want to debate the skeptics. I also find it interesting that the skeptics/deniers are often referred to as anti-science (e.g. Joe Romm and many others), while their motivation in the context of the public debate seems more strongly based on science than the convinced group.
“The convinced” don’t want to debate the skeptics? Rather a broad statement there – possibly reflective of bias?
“Their motivation….seems more strongly based on science …” Another broad statement – again possibly reflective of bias?
So most of the “skeptics” at this very site are more willing to debate and more scientifically oriented than the “convinced” at this site? Really?
The “skeptics” at WUWT are less political, more scientific, and more willing to debate than the “convinced” at Real Climate?
