At least the piltdown man was cute. Global Gorebal warming is just a Marxist scheme to rob wealth from the wealthier countries to the poorer countries and, of course, to dishonestly line Al Gore's poclets.
Global Warming is similar to Piltdown man in another way:
Both have lasted, because scientists WANT them to be true.
At the time Piltdown Man was found, scientists thought the theory of evolution required “missing links.” None had been found. Piltdown man provided one.
Modern day intellectuals WANT to believe that mankind is evil, and industrialized mankind doubly so....
And, worst of all, they’re still in their jobs.
