From where I read, it seems like the pro-delay contingent is now moved to advocating for 'climate action' policies that don't involve transitioning to clean energy. Should SkepticalScience do a compendium of such policy arguments and rebuttals to them, as well?

(It's not happening, it's not us, it's too expensive, it's too late (the Climate Deniers' Playbook); let's just adapt, let's just buy offsets, let's just plant trees, let's just eat local, let's just go vegan, let's just eat grass-fed beef, let's just each work on our own carbon footprint, other issues and [particular issue] are more worthwhile than fighting climate change (this gets asserted rhetorically, as evidence doesn't support that working on it & not climate would be wise (though [democracy ), let's just work on methane for now, why bother since China, why bother since [developing countries rising population], first we need to eliminate injustice, first we need to [tame or dump] capitalism) (p.s. although Elizabeth Warren makes sense)

(what's missing from this list?)

If a high school student thinks they might be interested in becoming a wind turbine technician, what should they study in high school and what do they need in college? How can they find out which institution has a good training program?

Do you talk about climate change too, or just about weather? And if you wanted to mention sea level rise on air, would that be ok at your station?
