Skeptical Science 

Skeptical Science is a website that says to fight climate change skepticism and climate change denial, but nowadays it is a website that promotes neopositivism, militant atheism, militant scientism, militant debunkism and militant skepticism; it believes that conspiracy theories cannot happen despite the number of conspiracy theories that turned out to be true; it believes that all alleged fallacies are always fallacious despite that often alleged fallacies are not fallacious at all, but rather reasonable heuristics and the first step to deal with a complex problem, and it also often use of the own fallacies they claim people actually use in order to attack anyone who disagrees with neopositivism and militant atheism, and also calling anyone who disagrees with neopositivism and militant atheism "antiscience" and "denialist". Overall, it is basically a non-Wiki version of RationalWiki focused on fighting climate change skepticism and climate change denial, this website should change its name to "Skeptical Scientism" or "Skeptical Militant Scientism" to fit better what this website is actually about.
Skeptical Science is just like RationalWiki in form of a website focused on fighting climate change skepticism and climate change denial.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
