Yet another "confessions of a denier" article
This could equally well be in the blog articles forum, but it's about an article by someone called Walter Donway, that was picked up by WUWT. Walter said he was going to write about why he rejects climate science, but he didn't. Instead he just wrote another long Gish gallop about what science he rejects.
It seems to me, reading between the lines, that he has a bad case of motivated reasoning. He admits he doesn't get his science from scientific papers or scientists, or from mainstream science articles. Instead he got it from a disinformation book from Australia's Institute of Public Affairs (a right wing lobby group).
If you're interested, I've written a blog article about this, and have drawn some conclusions of my own. Not only was his science wrong, but his claim of being objective was also wrong. His article had all the signs and symptoms of the wilful denier and fake sceptic - stopping his "research" when he found people writing things that he could cope with. Fake scepticism.
