: the Awake simply prints what is most widely accepted at the time
Well-stated, Larc. That's what I was trying to say.
"Truth" has nothing to do with "what is widely accepted"....If the same magazine prints two opposite things 10 years apart, at least one of those times it is not printing truth.
Clearly, the evidence is very far from conclusive on humans having any impact on "global warming". However, I wouldn't lambast the work of environmentalists in general for this. Air and water pollution, deforestation, and any other number of legitimate environmental concerns are often addressed by environmentalist groups. Just because sunspots may have more control over our temperatures than we do does not mean we should ignore the cries of environmentalists on those other issues.
