Nope, no worldwide conspiracy, just a bunch of hysterical Chicken
Little's and "researchers" sucking at the tit of government funding
for "more study".

   Seems there is still some global warming denying going on right
   here in these USENET newsgroups.

   Hey Chomp -- Good to "hear" from you. Watch out for the effects of a
   warming planet. And a Merry Christmas to you.

       you exhaled too much CO2 while posting contamminating the Earth,

              next time just keep your CO2 inside you

There are those who say we need that CO2 to support life, so let them 
exhale all they want!

My take is that the AGW scare is starting to wind down due to various 
forms of evidence coming to the fore, things like doctored figures to 
bolster warming trends and the fact that some groups invested in global 
warming have refused to release internal documents that supposedly 
counter their views.

No one with any sense is claiming that the earth's climate doesn't 
fluctuate, it has been doing so since its formation and will continue to 
do so well into the foreseeable future. But this business of cherry 
picking temperature graphs to only show those periods where the 
temperature has increased has done the AGW crowd more harm than good.

Personally I have no problem with educating people of the dangers of 
pollution, but this "the sky is falling" mantra to support carbon 
taxation feels more like another wealth redistribution plot than 
anything else. When you consider that places like India and China are 
pouring gunk into the atmosphere at a phenomenal rate and are unlikely 
to conform to any regulations put forth by some feel-good consortium of 
socialist do-gooders (read Obama et al) the whole thing has a scam-like 
quality to it.

You deniers are all morons! Just shut up and pay your energy taxes. The 
Third World is counting on your money!

(Actually MORE than just "scam-like"! It's called criminal fraud.)

Use of the pejorative, "denier" (attempting to suggest an analogy with 
"holocaust denier") is certainly engaging in obfuscation, 
misrepresentation, smear campaign and intimidation tactics.

Warmballers are all so criminally dishonest they couldn't actually 
discuss an issue if their lives depended on it. All they know how to do 
is accuse their critics of the same tactics that THEY use to smear and 
ridicule anyone who points out their lies.
