“Newton may have been an ass, but the theory of gravity still works.”
—NASA climate scientist Gavin A. Schmidt, on why hacked climatologists’ emails criticizing prominent climate skeptics as “idiots” don’t actually indict climate science itself, as much as the skeptics would like to believe it. It’s just too perfect that climate skeptics would cry foul while drawing the wrong conclusion from the data at hand. Idiots and asses, it turns out.

Never leave home without it.
