Yeah, so far all I've found are sites which: 1) Are just political hack jobs 2) Are economists wishes 3) Are anomaly junkies Unfortunately, wishes are not horses, so 1) & 2) are out of luck. While #3 can present good science, they are focused on only the outliers and ignore the rest of the distribution. This is the standard creationist approach to science. Ignore the mean and variance of a mountain of evidence, and point to the blip on the distribution tail, then make the astonishing claim that the blip somehow invalidates the mountain. LOL! Oops. Left off #4: We don't know enough yet, so can't do anything. Ever notice how the same crowd that uses this excuse for action on environmental issues, didn't have the same objection in the War on Terror? LOL!
