This reads exactly like one of those Onion things.

So "Tree Cutter" Brawner is going to stick with the 2500 "scientists" ~ I think that crap is covered in the emails too.

People who believe in the 2500 scientists story are the TRUE BELIEVERS of the age.

Give that old bat a red ribbon eh!

People who believe in the 2500 scientists story are the TRUE BELIEVERS of the age. How many of the 2500 have a conflict of interest. Someone should do a study.

“People who believe in the 2500 scientists story are the TRUE BELIEVERS of the age”

Whenever I hear this “2500 scientists” crap from people I know and people I work with (most of whom are scientists) I reply “Name 5 of them”.

Most can’t name two.

Moreover, a significant fraction of those “2500 scientists” associated with the IPCC are government bureaucrats from government agencies associated with climate concerns; others may be actual scientists, but they’re from countries on the order of Gambia, who are only too happy to get a ticket to cool places like Kyoto and Copenhagen.

An appeal to “2500 scientists” isn’t an argument - it’s a strategy to avoid an argument. And if you’re Algore or Browner, and you don’t know shiite about science, that’s probably an understandable approach.

It’s a religion based on a political “feel good” philosophy of unreal, fairies and tree-hugging Gaiea anti-Western illogic:

But the sad fact is: these international socialist “True AGW Believers” are more fervent in their communist-inspired “faith” that man is destroying the planet by merely “being here” than the capitalists and Christians they fervently hate believe in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.

To coin a phrase.
