'One Of The Greatest Hoaxes Ever Perpetrated'
Skeptics, including respected scientists, believe global warming is a hoax.
[Bill Gray] is often called the World's Most Famous Hurricane Expert...He's a towering figure in his profession and in person...[he says] he had the courage to say what [his colleauges] were afraid to admit. Which is this: Global warming is a hoax...He has testified about this to the United States Senate. He has written magazine articles, given speeches, done everything he could to get the message out...In just three, five, maybe eight years, he says, the world will begin to cool again...
...when you step into the realm of the skeptics, you find yourself on a parallel Earth. It is a planet where global warming isn't happening -- or, if it is happening, isn't happening because of human beings. Or, if it is happening because of human beings, isn't going to be a big problem. And, even if it is a big problem, we can't realistically do anything about it other than adapt...Climate change is normal and natural...
The skeptics don't have to win the argument, they just have to stay in the game, keep things stirred up and make sure the politicians don't pass any laws that have dangerous climate change as a premise. They're winning that battle...
The skeptics have a final trump in the argument: Climate change is actually good...
Somehow Hitler keeps popping into the discussion. Gore draws a parallel between fighting global warming and fighting the Nazis. Novelist Michael Crichton, in State of Fear , ends with an appendix comparing the theory of global warming to the theory of eugenics...[Bill Gray says] 'Gore believed in global warming almost as much as Hitler believed there was something wrong with the Jews.'"

Climate change 'skeptics' = 'intelligent design' blatherers
I'd call attention to this insightful bit:
They [climate change 'skeptics'] focus on ambiguities and mysteries and things that just don't add up. They say the Official Story can't possibly be true, because it doesn't explain the [insert inexplicable data point here]. They set a high standard for reality -- it must never be fuzzy around the edges.
"They argue not as scientists but as lawyers," says Pieter Tans, who runs a lab at NOAA in Boulder, Colo., where he examines bottles of air taken from monitoring stations all over the planet. "When they argue, they pick one piece of the fabric of evidence and blow it up all out of proportion . . . Their purpose is to confuse, so that the public gets the idea that there is a raging scientific debate. There is no raging scientific debate."
These people are very much like the 'creation science' nee 'intelligent design' [such design apparently passed them by] crowd: 'The theory doesn't account for every little anomaly, therefore it should be shelved in favor of OUR ideas which match the anomalies, but do not fit the remaining 99.9% of the data.'
Climate change is actually good...
Ah, that brings back fond memories of Dr. Edward Teller responding to concerns over fallout from open-air testing of H-bombs by asserting ionizing radiation at low levels was actually salubrious. To keep one's perspective, one only need remember that Time is Money, and the longer 'skeptics' delay regulation, the longer they have to accumulate the revenue needed to lock up their compounds in Switzerland or Wyoming before the seas (and real-estate prices in the High Country) rise...
