But on the other side the evidence selectivity and baseless opinion pieces fighting for mindshare are 100 times worse.

Of course it's healthy to be skeptical, but it really seems like most people writing about GW have an agenda. The politics of the issue are simply too charged for any objectivity to sneak in.

I hold scientists to higher standards of conduct. The "Other people behave badly!" defense doesn't sit well with me.

I'm not excusing their behavior. I'm just stating facts.

It's emotionally draining to wade through all the crap being spewed around (I'm not blameless!).

But in a "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" kind of way, I'm hopeful this mess spurs renewed efforts to (re)construct a healthier, scientific basis for objective analysis.
