Well, I'm skeptical of the skeptics. That is, I'm skeptical of claims that there's no global warming going on; the Northwest Passage is open, Greenland is able to plant crops they haven't been able to plant in centuries, etc. On the other hand, I've also grown skeptical of the claim that it's caused by human activity, and I'm contemptuous of the claim that we have to immediately change how we live to prevent it from becoming a disaster. The scientists, politicians, movie stars, and musicians who demand that I change my lifestyle but are unwilling to change theirs shows me that they don't really believe what they're shoveling.
Let's go with Rick Santorum! it's all a hoax masterminded by a conspiracy of thousands of scientists from many different disciplines who are working together in a way the UN can never do. Follow our God-given right to dominate and exploit the earth!
I think many skeptics nowadays do not claim that Global Cool/Warming isn't occurring but that we haven't the knowledge to include why it is, and that the greenhouse gas and Anthropological factor are overestimated for political claims and the peoples ignorance as to what is Climate-Science and Climate-Engineering.

The Latin word Quodlibeta means "whatever you like" and refers to the special occasions at medieval universities when the students (or clerks as they were known) could test their masters by asking any question they fancied. This blog is primarily concerned with religion, science, history and their interface. But like the medieval clerks, we reserve the right to post on anything we want.
I am a historian of science specialising in the relationship between science and Christianity in the Medieval and Early Modern eras. I took my Masters (2003) from Birkbeck College, University of London and have a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge (2008). My book God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Sciencewill be published by Icon. My apologetics website is Bede's Library.

I am a historian of a very middling and amateurish sort. Having taken a Masters in Modern History at the University of St Andrews (2004), I completed a law conversion course at Nottingham Law School and embarked upon what has been an exciting career in legal technology. My chief interests are in Twentieth Century History, Colonial America, Historiography and, most recently, the History of Science. I also write a satirical blog at The Diary of Humphrey Clarke. I hope my contributions to Quodlibeta capture something of the pleasure I get from trawling my dusty collection of second hand history books.

I'm currently a graduate student in Philosophy, having already obtained graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology. My interests primarily lay in epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion and the history of philosophy. My studies have taken me to Belgium, where I currently reside. I also write a blog at Agent Intellect. In my mid-20s I decided to refute Christianity to set my conscience at ease. Two subjects that I turned to in order to accomplish this were philosophy and science. They backfired on me. Several months later, I very reluctantly accepted Christ.

Indeed, let's go with Santorum. If he wins, the reaction of people like anonymous will be worth it. ;)
