Fake skeptics of climate change won't be swayed by good science, by Stephen Hume, Vancouver Sun 

"They are false skeptics. They're not really interested in even-handed examination of competing ideas. They practise what's called confirmation bias, cherry-picking evidence favourable to predisposed beliefs. They practise faith, not science.... Genuine skeptics would poring over the documents, following the money, connecting the dots, analyzing what it meant and reaching conclusions about the relative merits of spin and the science it seeks to discredit."
