The Ultimate Loophole - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

...English-to-English translation, in the context of our knowledge that cooling and warming, wet and dry, and any other meteorological condition is evidence of and caused by "global warming":

EU states may cite "global warming" as an excuse for failing to comply with rules imposed to fight "global warming."

You've really got to hand it to these folks. When they engineer a scam, they really do it.

Sahil Kapur weighs in

There is a resounding similarity between deniers of anthropogenic global warming and 9/11 Truthers: the refusal to let facts and reason get in the way of a preconceived, unfounded conclusion. The science remains uncertain, the naysayers say, even though their claims have been thoroughly debunked and the consensus is overwhelming among just about every known scientific institution on the planet.

Global warming deniers continue to make waves, just as 9/11 Truthers do. The latter have been written off as crazies and are irrelevant to the political debate. The former will soon join the club. They'll go down in the history books alongside the many who doubted that the earth was round until well after the science had been made obvious. They'll be mentioned in the same chapter as those who continue to doubt evolution to this day.

Or maybe there won't be a chapter because humanity never made it that far.
