Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThis is a terrific podcast and I thank SciAmerican for putting it out. I've posted to FB & elsewhere so people who appreciate science can have answers for those less informed about Climate Science.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisLove the podcast, Steve, though sometimes I hesitate to share it with friends when the tone toward non-scientific beliefs starts to get condescending or derisive. That being said, after hearing Bastardi's "analysis" I'm amazed at the restraint you showed while picking it apart. I couldn't have done the same without numerous laughs and groans, perhaps a few expletives, and even some audible forehead slaps.

If the fule that is causing the problem had good replacements (like cold fusion) and they talked about that... anything that was usable. They gave nothing. between their, ahh, hmm, cough, ahhs and then talking a mile a minute. This source, that source, all were misleading, but they don't say what is true. I'd hate to be Fox trying to figure out what they wanted to say. All I can say is it was boring and after listening to the whole thing, I wish I hadn't.
