I am a proud, card-carrying skeptic (seriously...I've even written articles for Skeptical Briefs magazine), and I will never forget nor forgive Algore for claiming that global-warming skeptics posed the biggest threat to saving the world from extinction by global warming. Yeah, how dare we evil skeptics ask to see even the most basic of scientific proof before we upend the entire socio-economic system to solve a problem that might not even exist? What a lot of fear-mongering crap. If the world faced any threat of extinction from CO2 emissions, it was from the gales of hot gas emitted by Algore and his ilk: Paul Erlich, Jeremy Rifkin and all the other scientific illiterates who have been throwing out crackpot doomsday predictions for 30 years (including global cooling), not a single one of which ever came true.

But it doesn't matter how many holes get blasted in the global warming hoax, we'll still get articles like this one that start out in the first paragraph (the only one many people will ever read) implying that the "sceptics" were wrong and it's now accepted scientific fact that manmade CO2 emissions are changing the climate, even though it goes on for another 40 column inches and offers nothing to substantiate that claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. I've heard enough extraordinary claims to last me a lifetime. Time to start showing us a little proof along with the hyperbole.

Thanks for your voice of sanity and clarity on this emotional pack of lies and agendas by the bad science poster boys, the Enviralists.

The mind boggles -- I suppose the companion publication is called Cynical Boxers? ;-)
