Michael posted on his page.
Global Warming Skeptic Changes His Tune — by Doing the Science Himself
I don’t know how long it will take for us to take this problem seriously. We may have as little as 20 years to turn this around. To be skeptical of the obvious is unreasonable. If anyone believes Glen Beck and Alex Jones on this they sorely lack reason.

I’ve been following Michael for a long time. He, along with James Randi, is one of my favorite skeptics. I thought for a long time that the evidence wasn’t in for global warming as did he. The evidence is profound and abundant. The climate change is and will be the most pressing problem for humanities future. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-flipping-point
