The irony of these fanatics and MMGW faithful is rich.
The religious MMGW zealots have to hope and wish for data that shows the planet is getting warmer year after year. But the data keeps coming up short and showing no measurable changes. The irony is that they think that the warming, while hurting the planet, would help them make their case and prove them right. For them, it is more about their credibility, stature, ego and power than it is about the planet or people of future generations. So, they have to hope for what they think is suffering and misery to advance their ego and power.
BUT, real world history, geography and geological sciences show that a warmer planet is a healthier planet with more life and more peace. If the planet does continue to warm, history shows it would be good for all life AND good for their argument, regardless of how falsely attributable to humans it is.
Yup, so, for years they've been outright manipulating the data and LYING about it.
These AGW fanatics were so confidant that they didn't expect anyone to challenge their findings and when they were challenged they refused to share the raw data.
