Christ, the same tires fucking whining that pseudo scientists have been invoking for decades. "We're the victims of the cabal.'

It was much a lie when Michael Behe was claiming it as it is a lie now.

The researchers have no such powers. It is governments that make laws and policy.

It's a sad day when scientists are once again condemned for working on theories that butt up against prejudices and corporate interests, and accused of "groupthink" by cowards and ignoramuses.

Boy, the psuedo-skeptics with mod points are out in force today. Imagine how low I'd get moderated if I attacked Libertarianism. It's fascinating to see the number of people who truly believe the Universe owes humanity some sort of consequence-free existence.

If there was evidence that would collapse AGW, someone would publish it. Claiming that there is a vast conspiracy in any field isn't going to convince anyone but the ignorant. Again, if I have to give credence to the claim that researchers having been forced out because they debunked AGW, then should I now also reject biological evolution, Big Bang cosmology and all the other fields?

The conspiracy theory claim, to my mind, is the final appeal of the pseudo-skeptic.

Do you have an actual citation here, or are you just going to keep pretending that psueduo-skeptic blog posts are actually references? Fucking hell, do you think I'm a fucking idiot.

Ah yes, the peer review conspiracy theory. Perhaps Ben Stein can do a sequel to Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Seriously, is it the intent of psuedo-skeptics like yourself to invoke every bullshit claim that the Creationist crowd developed? Is that the company you wish to keep?

This is a newspaper that, as recently departed political commentator Peter Oborne pointed out, willfully buried numerous stories about HSBC facilitating tax evasion and money laundering. It's almost insanely pro-industry, and basically gives Christopher Booker, a guy who has openly supported Intelligent Design, claimed asbestos is safe, and even defended the tobacco industry. Booker frequently writes editorial pieces attacking climatologists, that and attacking the UK's social service system seems to be just about the only things he does write about. His articles are frequently fallacious in nature, invoking non-experts and cranks.

Fine, the Heartland institute, a well known fossil fuel propaganda production facility, made baseless criticisms on the Pope, invoking several of their well known fallacies, lies and distortions.

I'm too busy reading what actual scientists publishing climatology research say. I'm not terribly interested in the kooks who stand for or against AGW. You'll have to try your whole meme on someone who gives a rats fuck what non-scientists say.

You're full of shit

Oh christ, not the 15/18 year bullshit. Several of those years are the hottest on record. This is what the ACTUAL SCIENTISTS state.

Have you even the vaguest notion of what AGW is?

Good thing we don't have to go to Soros for information on AGW.

For chrissakes, that was four hundred years ago. Jesus christ, is that the best defense of the lying sociopaths at the Heartland Institute, that one of the Pope's predecessors, centuries ago, screwed over an astronomer?
