My take is the AGW people are damaged 10%. If we had a more impartial media this would be a scandal. But what does some reporter who is a liberal arts grad know or care about science?
I agree it will take a while, but even the most ignorant reporterette sooner or later will take her cue from the thunder on the right, and realize there is a major story sitting under her nose.
They will whore themselves out as long as possible, but if the alternative media keeps up the expose', in the end the whores will pile on.
