BTW, there are other groups who I find just as offensive. One is the contingent who think, as an article of political faith, that Global Warming is false. Because it's mostly leftists who advocate human caused warming, they must oppose it.
Also, not all of the folks who accept human caused warming are to be condemned. There are many who are entirely level headed about it like Lomborg.
While that is part of what drives many to dismiss out of hand the GW crowd, their track record is something that should make one sceptical of anything they are claiming with certainty. We have been running out of oil and will be out of oil in 10 years has been repeated since the Nineteen teens. The Population Bomb and the mass starvation and dying that was to have occured 20+ years ago is another. The "death" of the oceans 20 years ago if we didn't do something in "10 years" is another. "Silent Spring" another of their doom and gloom causes that turned out to be absolutely false. Same with Alar. The list goes on and on and on and on. While vitually 100% of their past predictions having been wrong, I am skeptical of their current predictions.
It is completely possible to acknowledge that we are in a warming portion of the climate cycle without being hysterical and advocating draconian responses.
We actually shouldn't even refer to *global* warming, as it has been reported that no discernable warming has been perceived in the Southern Hemisphere over the past 25 years. My Kiwi correspondents have complained for months about their cold, wet summer. That is anecdote, not data,of course, but then, so is a lot of the information being disseminated in support of anthropogenic warming.
I just don't agree that the changes are severe enough to warrant the sorts of huge space-based responses that will take so long to implement that by the time they are in place will be obviated by yet another swing in the opposite direction.
