We were reluctant to post anything about it until we have time to evaluate Siegal's claims and the rebuttal. However, that has been done. Siegal has responded at "Climate Change: Is it Real and Important?".
What is great about the Siegal response is he includes REFERENCES that readers can research for themselves.
Anthony Watts provided Summary of the Article on his blog he included the following introduction to David Siegal, which we paraphrase below. Watts titled his post as “How a liberal vegan environmentalist made the switch from climate proponent to climate skeptic”. Follow-up comments can be found by clicking here.
David Siegel is not a climate expert; he is a writer. He became interested in climate science early in 2015 and decided to educate himself in the field. Like the contributors to MTSkeptics, it didn’t take long before it was clear that there isn’t likely going to be any catastrophic warming this century.
Siegal did his homework and wrote the above noted essay aimed at liberals -- who have a voice, who have access to media, and who might take 30 minutes to educate themselves.
He submitted his work to many liberal publications, from the LA Times to the Atlantic Monthly to National Geographic to Huffington Post. They all turned it down. So he posted the essay himself and hoping others will read it and help spread the word. He wants influential liberals to understand that the science is not settled.
