Wasn't it Disraeli who said the piccolo of his protest would scarcely be audible next to the deep rumbles of the big pipes of that august organ of public opinion, The Times of London (editorial) leader ?

dear DONNA LAFRAMBOISE , if you are going to play 'little david' at least do it right
Dear Donna :
I feel that since you and I are in the same 'game' and because I am so much older than you, perhaps I might be permitted to offer you some fatherly advice.
If you are going to play at being little david to the great big bad Goliath (in this case, of the IPCC) at least try to do it right.
I too claim to be a solo blogger, albeit on the other side of the climate change debate.
But I have a real job, totally unconnected to my passion about climate change, that supports me and my passion modestly (my annual income is about $8,000) .
I do not accept any financial support, I do not copyright my climate change writings and I wouldn't cross promote my other money making ventures on my climate blog, even if I had any commercial ventures to promote.
My passion is entirely my own, not paid by others and not a loss leader cum CV/RESUME to promote my other money-making ventures.
I am a genuinely low income blogger from a genuine backwater , Nova Scotia, thousands of kilometres from the well-funded Libertarian-denier think tanks of Washington or London --- and so when I rail against them, I do so credibly.
But you, Donna : you are just astro-turf .......

The WICKED Rev Whewell and how the denier Skygods might just be doing us Earthlings a big favour
Breaking Up : for the Sake of the (human) Family...
"Boring" alert : I have been doing some heavy thinking.
(The result of reading (via the ever-alert Mike at Watching the Deniers) of Graham Readfearn's account of how the deniers will soon be taking over Australia's government and education, from top to bottom.)
Yep,the deniers are breaking up Science: dividing it up into their science and our science.
And yet, in a strange sort of way, that is exactly as it should be - and as it as it should always have been.
The fact that it not, can be laid at the feet of that versatile, if wicked, polymath the Reverend William Whewell.
