Editorial Board - a group of ultra liberals who meet on a regular basis to construct big, bigger and biggest lies in the hope that reality can be made meaningless.
The judicious use of emotionally charged language in the article is quite revealing.
The term “climate change skeptic” has fallen out of vogue, because “skeptic” is not emotionally-charged enough.
Therefore, “skeptics” have become “deniers”, which sounds an awful lot like “holocaust deniers”.
Oh, I’m SUUUUUUUUUUUURE that’s not intentional. ;)
It's not too late! Pay up now, you cheap *&*^*^%!
“Winter is just around the corner.”
Yep, and it is the “Sun” Stupid. We are coming out of the longest, quietiest and deepest sunspot minimum in my lifetime. It has been know for over 100 years that during sunspot minimums and maximums weather is more variable. Now we are seeing huge flares and this too shall pass.

The Next Grand Minimum
http://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/mission/
“The Maunder Minimum was named in honor of Edward W. Maunder, an earlier astronomer who had examined the period between 1645-1715 when sunspots became extremely rare. It was also a period when the world experienced successive crop failures.”
“During one 30-year period within the Maunder Minimum astronomers observed only about 50 sunspots, as opposed to the thousands in modern times. The science is robust, and based on a systematic program of observations conducted by the Observatoire de Paris. The Maunder coincided with the coldest part of the so-called Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced bitterly cold winters.”
Anthropological Global warming would be believable if not for some stubborn facts that the AWG proponent keep avoiding.
1. The sun place a massive role in warming.
2. Mars warmed at the same time earth did
3. Every doom and gloom prediction has come and past without disaster.
4. The AWG experts consistently fail to recognize similar warming periods throughout history.
5. The “cures” all lead to control of successful countries.
6. The “cures” all lead to the redistribution of wealth.
7. AGW science has turned into a religious cult including tithing, worship, heretics, etc...
8. AGW Computer models can’t predict weather that has already happened.
9. AWG leaders don’t act in their personal lives as if AGW was true.
10. The IPCC reports include hearsay that has been proven false and has been admitted to by the IPCC.
11. Temperature monitoring stations are in disrepair, not positioned in correct locations.
12. Stations that show cooling have been found to be deleted form the data.
13. Countries have found that their submitted raw data doesn’t match the “official” data.
14. Ice data has been manipulated.
This is just my short list.
Skepticism is a benchmark of real science.
OK.
One more time...
There is a huge difference between the discussion of weather and climate.
If the editorial board of the Star-Ledger can't spare to time to educate themselves and understand that difference, I don't have the time to read their crap.
