If you are anything like me (and God help you if you are), you like to get your fill of alternate viewpoints. And I don't mean "the government is spying on me through hidden cameras in my TV decoder" alternate, I mean legitimate dissenting views from within the intellectual community. After all, a debate isn't a debate if you only hear one side and that side reams information and claims down your gullet with reckless abandon. Anyone who has half a brain, or a university education, should have the skills to look at a problem from an objective, analytical stance - taking in the information and making a decision as to what you would like to believe.
Unfortunately, that has gone straight out the window ever since we got our collective panties in a knot over the horrors of carbon dioxide and global warming. Ever since Al Gore hoisted himself onto a pulpit and shat out a popular, but completely unscientific, movie that scared the bejebus out of anyone who didn't take the time to think things through or do some fact checking, well things have gone downhill. If you question global warming, or carbon fears, or any greenwash idea, you get labeled as some sort of heretic or backwards nut who needs to be burned at the stake (the only reason you are not already cremated is because the burning wood would create too many airborne pollutants).
Which brings me to the last bastion of anti-greenery that still retains a degree of objectivity. Junk Science is a compilation of alternative views, critiques, and general anti-Goreist sentiments maintained by Steven Milloy. Milloy's frustration with the world is palpable - often the posts degenerate into wanton green-bashing and rants against Al Gore than verge on the libelous. But don't let the bile and fury distract you from the important bits - this is no conspiracy loony bullshit, Milloy is presenting genuine scientific work and facts that you won't hear from the mainstream media - because they are too dumb to sort out what is plausible and what isn't. If you vehemently believe in global warming and green issues, then don't bother looking at the site. In fact, get the fuck off my blog, you hippie commie bastard. But if you want an eye-opening second opinion, and some interesting facts to mull over, I highly suggest you take a perusal of Junk Science and learn what the OTHER side of the debate is saying.
