The Debate is Over

If the argument isn’t going your way, close it down. This was ever the way of liberal-left. Criticize the European Socialist Superstate and you’re a “Little Englander”; object to wind farms spoiling your view and you’re a “NIMBY”; demand curbs on immigration and you’re “a racist”; desire better education for your kids and you’re “elitist”; question the current majority scientific view on AGW and you’re a “Denier” who deserves only to be scorned, vilified and preferably silenced.
We have seen plenty examples of that last kind of bullying in the Climategate scandal (Warmergate, as Mark Steyn has wittily christened it: damn! Wish I’d thought of that): scientists ganging up to shut scientists who disagree with them out of the peer-review process; scientists actually gloating over their opponents’ deaths.
There’s another particularly splendid example of this approach from the Times’s resident ex-(?)Commie and apparently fervent Warmist David Aaronovitch. Often these days, the genial Aaronovitch is pretty good at portraying himself as the voice of commonsense and sweet reasonableness. But just occasionally, the former student radical’s half-buried inner Stalin will out – and never more so than in this diatribe against Lord Lawson of Blaby’s new climate change think tank, The Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Truth does not favor the liberal worldview.
Simple as that.

“Consensus” was a scam.
Just as some European nations that opposed us going to war against Saddam Hussein were BOUGHT OFF by Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton bought off the testimony of those who were witnesses in his trials.
There can only be a debate when there is honesty.
There was a reason that Al Gore refused to debate the myth of man-made global climate change.
How long do you think he SHOULD spend in prison for his vast leftwing conspiracy ponzi scheme?
He defrauded investors and strongarmed government agencies to buy his product.
Boy, this is a tough call. I mean, what should we do? Do we set up a show trial in New York City, or do we detain him at Gitmo? Obama would have to think about this for a very long while. A good compromise would be to simply add it to the list, right after the item about troop deployment in Afghanistan.
James Delingpole has been a real anti-MMSW/AGW warrior. The lefty attacks on him in the Telegraph are amusing and Delingpole doesn’t hesitate to fire back!
Bernie Madoff’s getting life in prison. Give Al Gore the same for his criminal deceit.
This is a ponzi scheme the likes of which the world has NEVER seen! It is a world wide fraud on every person who has wasted one thin dime on the fine fraud of GLOBAL WARMING and everything connected with it. Watch them try to cover up this one...the crimminal organization called the DEMOCRAT PARTY has made a ton of money on it, ala ALGORE< and all the crap they have been mouthing for years. I suggest they all go someplace we don’t have to either look, listen or smell.
Of course -- that's vanguard leadership. Communication outside the council-chamber of the initiates is always one-way, and downhill. Doubt it, and you get a Tokarev pistol shoved in your mouth -- "bang!", he retorted.
