Chris Mooney is the author of The Republican War on Science, Unscientific America and a co-blogger at The Intersection.
We caught up with Chris at the release of the AAAS study "Do Scientists Understand the Public?" and asked him a few questions.

I found out, this! CO2 and Methane have increased as a result of human activity. They are both greenhouse gases. This increase should have a warming driving effect on the climate. However, the risk of human caused dangerous global warming is a non existing problem. In other words, the policies used to stop dangerous global warming are meaningless and also dangerous.

@michaell84 This natural climate change has already started. During the last couple of years, the jet stream has moved nearer to the equator. It now also tends to buckle more and cause blocking of weather systems. At the same time increased cloud condensation cause more flash floods and severe drought conditions in the same way as it probably did during the Dalton and Maunder minima.

They do. Don't let a very vocal group of politically oriented opponents fool you (by deceiving, misrepresenting and in some cases, outright lying) into thinking that the vast majority of climate scientists are doing sneaky things to support their own agenda.
