How about as the scale of the political stakes grow, so does the urge to deny there is any scientific dissent whatever, along with the urge to squash all dissent, scientific or otherwise.

Glo-bull Smarming is a failed effort to redistribute wealth...mainly from the US taxpayers.

It’s global lying, not warming.

And this article that coined the term may have marked the last time a mention of "global warming" didn't set off an instant outcry of angry denial

Aside from the fact that the whole theory is nonsense, could it be that, since then, global warming has been used as a pretext to rob us of our freedoms, legacy, independence, wealth and lifestyle choice?....just saying...

I hope Lord Monckton writes a rebuttal to this nonsense.

“It is indisputable fact that as a planet grows warmer it is not as cool as before the warming occurred. Higher temperatures are thought to indicate greater heat but the math gets tricky at this point.” (Quoted with permission from the guy at the end of the bar).

The article was probably drowned out by this....

To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down.

I’ve been a subscriber of the journal Science for years (although, I admit, I didn’t subscribe back in 1976).

I have yet to see that overwhelming quantity of evidence of global warming documented in Science or elsewhere.

The evidence I have seen to date consists mostly of the description of a study, with the words “because of global warming” stuck somewhere in the discussion of why the study authors may have obtained the results they did. But I have not yet seen a hypothesis-driven demonstration of anthropogenic global warming.

In the paper, Columbia University geoscientist Wally Broecker calculated how much carbon dioxide would accumulate in the atmosphere in the coming 35 years, and how temperatures consequently would rise. His numbers have proven almost dead-on correct.

They lie as usual. The paper which I just downloaded predicts 0.7 degrees of increase between 1980 and 2010. The satellite record, our most accurate measurement, shows less than 1/2 that much rise.

This article is short on facts concerning the original article, the one which forms the author’s jumping off point for his tirade.

He basically just reiterates the global warming dogma and blasts the “deniers”. He uses consensus (”98% of scientists”) to say that deniers are in the minority. He doesn’t say where this comes from, but instead quotes an “authority”.

He doesn’t make room for the fact that minority opinions sometimes turn out to be right. In fact, he starts out saying that global warming was a minority view when it was first proposed, and no one listened. Ironic.
