You can often catch the PowerPoint presentation creator contributing over at Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog under the user name tokodave. He's a lifelong outdoorsman, backcountry skier and mountaineer, and one of many who try to stem the inexorable tide of ignorant climate denial in the comment section (NOT in Phil's articles), while the powers that be at Slate remain asleep at the switch, letting deniers infest the site and pollute the conversation for whatever silly reason.
