Hi all; More evidence that journalists are turning away from climate alarmism. They're recognizing that there is an intermediate position between anti-scientific "deniers" and the obsolete science "alarmists". These are the "lukewarmists":

Are climate sceptics the real champions of the scientific method?
UK Guardian

As part of our series on science and the green movement, Warren Pearce looks at how science is used by their opponents
...
Sceptics such as Andrew Montford and Anthony Watts agree with the mainstream view that the greenhouse effect brings about atmospheric warming as a result of carbon emissions, but dispute levels of climate sensitivity. However, others offer far more fundamental challenges to climate science, such as fringe sceptic group Principia Scientific who reject this orthodox view of atmospheric physics.

Watts found himself under frequent challenge by members of the group on his blog, leading him to post his own experiments on YouTube to disprove their claims. As well as being a nice example of scientific claim and counter-claim on the web, Watts's actions also helped position himself as a "mainstream" sceptic who can challenge key areas of climate science without entering into pseudoscience, a brush he had previously been tarnished with.
