To give in to logic and what ClimateGate has exposed, is to admit Rush Limbaugh was right. Therefore, no one on the hard left will ever admit to being wrong. I find it hilarious! Especially reading all the supposed intellectual leftists look like utter buffoons trying to support the Global Warming fraud. What's even funnier is seeing them use the term "Global Warming" again. Climate change has now gone back to its original meaning.

Yup, go ahead...put your faith in the Oil Cos, the Coal Cos, Limbaugh, Beck, Inhofe, Monckton, Morano, the Birthers, the Teabaggers, the Palin bookbuyers...they have the long term concerns for the planet's environment number one in their list. Oh yeah, the consensus of American and World Science are promoting the scam to ruin the US economy. Typical of your crowd's "core" beliefs... This from yesterday's NY Times Letters to the Editor... >>" December 14, 2009 Letter Climate Skeptics, Get Real To the Editor: So, climate change deniers, let me get this straight: The same scientific community that has made this country prosperous and strong with innovations like the microcircuitry and telecommunications that power your blogs, the aeronautical advancements that whisk you to tea party rallies and the medical technologies that prolong your life (assuming your insurer covers the procedure) is now scheming to perpetrate an enormous hoax to ruin the American economy? Such a broad-based, coordinated deception would be unprecedented in science’s history — but is quite common outside of science. A perfect example is the propaganda machine that has convinced you that, in this one case, science is plotting against us while the oil, coal and other polluting industries have the nation’s long-term interests at heart. Over the years, various industries have launched coordinated propaganda efforts to deny now accepted facts like the cancer-causing effects of tobacco or that seat belts save lives. In fact, scientific findings linking any commercial product to an injurious effect, or imposing costs on business, have almost always met a wall of rejection by the industry affected. If, this time, industry truly is fighting for our best interests by denying the role of pollution in climate change, and if science truly is defrauding the public on such a grand scale, then each would be a shocking development in the histories of industry and science.
