Every emotional political/cultural view has its kooks and false narratives.

There’s the fake “Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court” claims on homos that got widely repeated on conservative blogs. But it’s small potatoes compared to the tons of goofy stuff the average leftist believes.

AGW, for example, may be one of the biggest hoaxes in history.

I had never heard of that until now. Thank you. BTW I think it's "Murtagh."

Not really quite the same, and it happened 63 years ago. No one at the time took exception to Judge Murtagh's position, at least to the extent that it is findable by means of a two-minute Google search.

I believe it's now safe to say that AGW is a hoax.

And, if it's a hoax, it is most certainly the biggest hoax in history.

In other words, there is little need to qualify the statement...

Dollar wise, even accounting for inflation, it's the biggest financial scam in history. That's not even accounting for all the waste and regulatory abuse poured on by governments around the world.
