“To be honest, I’m not sure I’d characterize myself as an environmentalist now. While I got into global warming out of scientific curiosity, my continued interest and all the hours I spend on it are more out of concern for humanity than nature. I’m a Christian and a strong aspect of my faith is social conscience – hating injustice and caring for the poor. As I pored through the research into global warming impacts, I learned that poor and developing countries are those worst affected by global warming. Ironically, these are the countries least able to adapt to climate change.”
Aussie science-sorter John Cook said that in an interview with Andy Revkin.
Cook is a physicist, not a climate scientist, but he has spent a lot of time over the past few years examining the specifics of climate change skepticism. He’s not impressed.
So he blogs, “getting skeptical about global warming skepticism.” And he collects information, distills it, and feeds it into his iPhone App.
