It has only got a following because of the crusade against literacy in the public school system...

In the first decade of the 20th century, the grifters wore checkered jackets, gave themselves titles like "doctor", and sold snake oil to the rubes. Eugenics was the required belief of the pseudo-educated.

In the first decade of the 21st century, the grifters wear lab coats, give themselves PhD's, and sell PAPER snake oil to the illiterate victims of teachers unions. Global warming is the required belief of the pseudo-educated.

Same scam, new coffee tables...

NASA: Smog chemical tied to Arctic warming
‘It’s very dramatic,’ study lead author says of ozone findings

Updated: 10:16 a.m. ET March 15, 2006
Ground-level ozone, the same pollutant that makes smog, is responsible for a surprisingly large part of the spring and summer warming that’s been detected in the Arctic, NASA researchers said in a new study.

“Instead of being this tiny player, (ozone) can be more like 30 or 40 or even 50 percent of the cause of warming that we’re seeing in the Arctic now,” said lead author Drew Shindell, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “It’s very dramatic.”

Carbon dioxide has long been considered a key cause of overall global warming because it remains in the atmosphere for a long time, Shindell said.
