RonRosenbaum.com » The Disgusting Use of “Denialist” by Warming Advocates Trivializes the Holocaust
Nothing in the climate debate which I’ve been paying sporadic attention to is more repulsive than the global warming advocates’ attempt to smear skeptics of their theories and models and predictions as “denialists.” As if they were some analog of holocaust deniers.
[More fudged numbers]
If you add it all up, the fossil fuel industry outspent the environmental groups by $36.8 million to $2.6 million in the second quarter, a factor of 14 to 1.

Are they insane?

He urged crowd members to support Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, a longtime global warming skeptic, in his efforts to bring more attention to what's being billed as "ClimateGate." That scandal broke two weeks ago when e-mails were released showing climate scientists having heated disagreements about recent warming trends while sharing derisive comments about skeptics. "Drill, baby, drill and mine, baby, mine," Carey said.
