Temperature oscillations recorded in Greenland ice cores over the past 500 years (Fig. 2) are truly remarkable. At least 40 periods of warming and cooling have occurred since 1480 AD, all well before CO 2 emissions could have been a factor. | 2_1 |
But as Aaron Wildavsky, one of the great policy analysts of the 20th Century documented, some risks are unsuited to pre-emptive mitigation.

All of which is why I tried (badly) to make the counter argument that if (according to Oreskes) skeptics are motivated by their belief in defence of an ideology of laissez-faire governence, opposition to government regulation (sic), then the opposite might also explain the warmist viewpoint.
