Announcing the formal retraction of the paper from the journal, Siddall
said: "It's one of those things that happens. People make mistakes and
mistakes happen in science." He said there were two separate technical
mistakes in the paper, which were pointed out by other scientists after it
was published. A formal retraction was required, rather than a correction,
because the errors undermined the study's conclusion

Inhofe is like a Creationist who every now and then forgets to say
"intelligent design."

And therein lies the problem. There isn't enough evidence for you to be
certain, and even if there was you wouldn't understand it.

I agree with that, and I also think attempts to reduce carbon emissions
are doomed to failure. Any scheme to reduce emissions will cost money,
giving a competitive economic advantage to those who ignore it. As a
species we would rather devour our environment than learn to live within
it.
