Skeptical Science was founded for the purpose of debunking misunderstandings and intentional misinformation about anthropogenic climate change. In this interest, this week we've included an article from the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences that is not a research paper but rather a critique of Wolfgang Behringer’s A Cultural History of Climate. Behringer's extended exercise in motivated reasoning illustrates the durability of denial; keeping calm is always good but at this late date in our schedule of planet-warping activities Behringer's advice is delivered with all the wrong reasons.
