Why are so many meteorologists AGW denialists?

Good question. I suspect it may be similar to the question of why so many engineers are creationists…

Guess which.

I was using the term in a vernacular sense, but some time ago Wikipedia defined “line” so now it must be used just so.

Technically, in paleoclimate circles, this is a squiggle. I should have used that term.

Because, at least, heat trapping by GHG is real. Simple physics.
And then, there are feedbacks. Unfortunately, they´re mostly ´positive´, meaning it´s bad.
