The Democrats need to stop this Global Warming madness and consider the environmental impact of a nuclear exchange anywhere on the planet. Now THAT would be man-made and is a far more serious threat than rich countries using "too much" oil to create jobs.
bttt
It is man-made. All the Dems' hot air is harming the world.
Donks want control of everything. Global Warming is the way they want to get there.
Does this mean Al Gore is WRONG?????? Say it ain't so, Al!!!!
This really points to the sorry state of science and how easily scientists can be bought. There should be many more scientists standing up against all these alarmists.
About Time!!
I couldn't finish the article -- my view was obscured by various visions of how, precisely, one might decorate a scientist. Tinsel, lights, and little glass balls? Or perhaps it's more in line with draperies and furniture.
Global Warming Denier Alert!

Global warming news.
Global Warming HOAX!!!
BTTT!!!
He better be careful:
NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS PROPOSED FOR GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS
A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore (http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no ) and PBS newsman Bill Moyers, for his October 11th global warming edition of “Moyers on America” titled “Is God Green?”
(http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts/index.html ) have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to promote their projects, is now advocating Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming.
Grist Magazine’s staff writer David Roberts called for the Nuremberg-style trials for the “bastards” who were members of what he termed the global warming “denial industry.”
Roberts wrote in the online publication on September 19, 2006, "When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg.” (http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no )
Gore and Moyers have not yet commented on Grist's advocacy of prosecuting skeptics of global warming with a Nuremberg-style war crimes trial. Gore has used the phrase "global warming deniers" to describe scientists and others who don't share his view of the Earth's climate. It remains to be seen what Gore and Moyers will have to say about proposals to make skepticism a crime comparable to Holocaust atrocities.
The use of Holocaust terminology has drawn the ire of Roger Pielke, Jr. of the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology Policy Research. “The phrase ‘climate change denier’ is meant to be evocative of the phrase ‘holocaust denier,’” Pielke, Jr. wrote on October 9, 2006 (http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/author_pielke_jr_r/index.html#000952).
“Let's be blunt. This allusion is an affront to those who suffered and died in the Holocaust. This allusion has no place in the discourse on climate change. I say this as someone fully convinced of a significant human role in the behavior of the climate system,” Pielke, Jr. explained.
The article Global Warming: The Chilling Effect On Free Speech (www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/1782/ )last week in Spiked Online addresses this new found penchant by environmentalists and some media members to charge skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming with “crimes against humanity” and urge Nuremberg-style prosecution of them.
>>Does this mean Al Gore is WRONG?????? Say it ain't
>> so, Al!!!!
But, but....he told us that the increase of hurricanes was due to human activities. What happened this year with the lack of hurricanes??
Mate, look up Alain Madelin and Sabine Herold - they're both very sensible.

Note "rhetoric", not scientific discussion.
An environmental magazine in September called for Nuremberg-style trials for global warming skeptics and CBS News “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley compared skeptics to “Holocaust deniers.”
Uh huh. solid scientific data there.
In addition, former Vice President Al Gore has repeatedly referred to skeptics as "global warming deniers."
NO politics involved, there, either.
Aw hell, boys and girls, I know it must really hurt to see that grant money plum withering on the vine, but you are just one step short of calling out the villagers with rudimentary lighting devices and primitive farm implements for a late-night parade.
If you have a valid scientific case, make it. If not, and it increasingly appears not, then STFU and take your lumps.
God has given us a lovely, dynamic dirtball to ride through space on, and we don't affect it as much as you anthropocentric secularists think we do.
Enjoy the ride.
