Hence the quotation marks. It's a bit too soon after getting up for me to think properly. "Believe" was unsatisfactory, but I couldn't think of an alternative at that point.
It's not your post I object to - it was just the platform, for which I thank you.
There is a school of thought that preaches (and I 'believe' that 'preach' really is the most appropriate word, there) that your position on global climate change really is a matter of personal preference or opinion, and objective data be damned.
That's what I object to. As I've heard before - we can have different opinions... but we can't have different facts.
