The Heartland Institute knows all about global warming skepticism. Indeed, you could say we wrote the book. So we were surprised that a play about global warming skepticism called "The Heretic" is now running in London — and that the left-wing Guardian newspaper gave it favorable notice. A quick summary of the play:
[It] starts from a promising premise: the isolation of Dr Diane Cassell, a leading light in the earth sciences department of a Yorkshire university. Her speciality is measuring sea levels in the Maldives, and her pragmatism leads her to conclude they have not risen in 20 years.The story of being ostracized — and even threatened — for daring to state publicly that the climate data leads to a non-alarmist position is not uncommon to the many scientists who have presented their heterodox findings at Heartland's five International Conferences on Climate Change. (Click the following links for footage of conference one, and two, and three, and four and five.)Inevitably her climate-change scepticism lands her in trouble: She gets death threats from Sacred Earth Militia, is at odds with her anorexic Greenpeace daughter, and is eventually suspended by her faculty boss and former lover. Her consolation is a student, Ben, whom she induces to share her strictly scientific approach to global warming.
Long-time British television presenter Johnny Ball is especially moved by the production of that play. Ball had produced science shows for the BBC for decades, and he wrote a piece in the London Daily Mail today titled "Beware the global warming fascists: Johnny Ball on how he has been vilified for daring to question green orthodoxy."
Of the play, Ball wrote:

If all the hoopla over global warming dies down, which it seems to be doing except among extremists, how is Al Gore going to spend his time?
Wow!
Great find, seamus!
Slowly but surely the citizens of the world are throwing off the slave chains of the fake AGW self-appointed massas.
The movement to free ourselves has been gathering steam in the USA — more that fewer people reject this attempt to control us.
It is GREAT to see our EU cousins embrace the same anti-slavery, pro-intelligence perspectives.
AND, for anyone who wants to know, AGW is NOT a Scientific Theory by modern scientific criteria. It is merely a well-funded collection of hypotheses (actually, guesses) where the end result is paid for and scientific prostitutes work backwards to make the data fit the proper political conclusions.
I'm less concerned with 'how' than I am with 'where'. IMNSHO, it should be a cell of some sort, the only debatable point being should it be prison, or padded?

Get with it, it is not Global Climate Change - any minuscule change in the climate is due to man’s evil rape of the environment, and must be stopped!
Ping.
Oh, yeah, sorry I forgot. I’ll go buy some carbon credits to make amends.
Thanks, freedumb2003. Your comment is spot-on. We can only hope that Mr. Ball’s perspective on this issue is gaining traction across the pond — for all our sakes.

Rest assured, infowarrior: Padded walls will not be in the matrix for Mr. Gore — at least not in our lifetimes. Something much worse is in store for him: Eternal mockery, once history catches up.
It might take some time, but our grandchildren will have a hearty laugh. And their mockery of Gore will be leavened with our wisdom.
Horrifying female masseuses with his ghastly body, if the past is any guide.
Hey, OddLane. Let’s keep it family-friendly (even mentally). :-)
Somebody mislaid the brain bleach again?
“how is Al Gore going to spend his time?”
Water skiing at the North Pole.
A bigger shock to me is that this is “Breaking News”. But, I digress...
“If all the hoopla over global warming dies down, which it seems to be doing except among extremists, how is Al Gore going to spend his time?”
Don’t worry. Con men always have some scam working or in the works.
Maybe this play will be the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” of the Globull Warming Idiocy era..................
algore will be spending his time managing the 10’s of millions of dollars he made off of the global warming scam.
“Long-time British television presenter Johnny Ball is especially moved by the production of that play. Ball had produced science shows for the BBC for decades”
The last conservative person on TV in the UK had a TV show ~30 years ago. Yeah.
Her consolation is a student, Ben, whom she inSEduces
