They say that over the last century the number of sunspots rose at the same time that the Earth's climate became steadily warmer.

This trend is being amplified by gases from fossil fuel burning, they argue.

Well, they only say that because they are fools.

I think they said that because they don't want to face an inquisition from the eco-priests.

“Well, they only say that because they are fools.”

No, if they deny Gore Style Warming they won’t get published in Nature, Scientific American, LATimes, NYTimes et alia.

Oh. The natural warming from solar activity can be neglected BECAUSE “we (the international socialist community) can do something (tax America) about CO2 emissions, but not about the sun ...”

Well, they only say that because they are fools.

No, they say that because we've allowed the situation develop, where through preferential funding and publishing for those climatological and meteorological researchers (to those willing to wave the AGW banner), we're getting the skewed results of that corruption of (what used to be) a large scientific field.

Corruption is extremely dangerous, insidious, and a hallmark of the Left, e.g. former Senator Tim Worth (D-CO) "What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy."

Talk about your basic, bastardized morals! They openly would have their ends "justify" whatever expedient means, in defiance of truth, as they may deem is required.

You can float anywhere on that little raft.
