I call B.S. on AL.
Al has just libeled every scientist that disagrees with him. If anyone is manipulating opinion it is the arrogant global warming crowd that would not credential qualified climatologists and meteorologists if they don't profess the same global warming creed.
Al has not engaged in scientific debate but in strong-arm politics and dishonest publicity. The man is mad, but he certainly is no mad scientist.
The truth is that the Global Warming forces are trying to protect a Multi-billion dollar chicken-little operation.
