Scientists Who Cry Wolf

From EDP 24, scientists are worried about "greenspin backlash" now that polling has revealed most people--even in the more socialistic UK--aren't buying the global warming myth.

Asher Minns, spokesman for the Tyndall Centre, said: “The public feels scientists are quite possibly over-selling the science and you could say there's even the beginning of a backlash. If climate change science doesn't get more careful with its communication, you could turn off and disengage the public.”

I agree with these scientists on one thing: if they keep spinning fantasies like this and crying wolf all the time, people will definitely be tuning them out. And unfortunately, we may be tuning them out at a time when might actually be telling the truth about something dangerous.
