"Scepticism, honest doubt about the truth of a particular fact or theory, can be a healthy thing. But the term becomes debased when used as a euphemism for self-interested denial, or wilful ignorance, of evidence that is strong enough to convince an overwhelming global majority of the scientists who are qualified to make a judgment. Just this sort of false scepticism, born of short-term greed and fear, now threatens the United Nations climate change summit in Copenhagen next month."
