Skeptical Science is based on the notion that science by its very nature is skeptical. It is not the same as doubt. Skepticism is the open-minded consideration of something based on the evidence. A skeptic doesn’t have a preference for what the truth is, a preferred answer. If you want to discover what the truth is based on the balance of all evidence, you look at all the facts before coming to a conclusion. In the case of climate science, our understanding of climate comes from considering the full body of evidence and being ‘skeptical’ for well over a century.

Animals, plants and humans have always adapted: they will just continue to adapt – survival of the fittest, right?
