Jim Steele made the following comment at my post regarding a new documentary "Years of Living Dangerously - facing what's happening"
"Since Citizenschallenge is the only one who comments on this blog, perhaps I am wasting my time. But for those who want an objective skeptical opinion from an avid evironamentalist regards the fear mongering in this documentary, please read my analysis "Exploiting Human Misery and Distorting the Science: An environmentalist’s critique of “Years of Living Dangerously” at WattsUpWithThat.com - 2014/04/14

At the time I was occupied and it's taken a while to finish a thorough 'analysis' of Jim Steele's "Exploiting Human Misery, Distorting Science…"
Yup, it's another marathon, though I plan to do a condensed version also. It seems to me, sometimes there's no choice but to do a sentence by sentence review in order to reveal the various tactics and tricks contrarians such as this Jim Steele employ.
I do this because there needs to be some source of information available to counter such astro-turfing.
I'm also hoping to inspire a few students out there to go after such articles of nonsense. It's not tough, the information is out there and the scientific case has become overwhelming, just takes time and a willingness to do some research, plus you'll learn a lot along the way.
Stop giving contrarian PR hawkers a free ride - call 'em on their lies every time they utter them.
