You have been called a climate-change denialist. How do you respond to that?

I’m a geologist and an observer of nature, and I consider myself a realist. I think the geological evidence is very clear that Earth has been warming for several hundred years, about 0.5 °C every hundred years. It’s not an unusual rate of warmth. There is, I think, absolutely no evidence whatsoever that carbon dioxide has much, if anything, to do with that. If you really study the process behind the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it’s mostly the bureaucrats that have come to that conclusion because they want more power and control. It’s a real problem that people who are trying to be realistic about climate are basically being shut out of the discussion.
