American Thinker: The War on Truth
What is the heart of the ugly "Man-made, Man-made Global Warming"? Its acolytes lie. Numbers, data, and other elements of knowledge are simply raw materials to construct a system of extracting power, money, prestige and other goodies from a befuddled population. Truth is either an a priori given, not connected to scientific research, or an elastic concept which must fit the dictates of partisan whims.

But the climate’s been cooling. Maybe global cooling accelerates methane emission?
[In case you missed it]: Greens take on sceptics
AUSTRALIAN green groups have called a strategy meeting to devise ways to hit back at the climate sceptics movement, amid fears they are losing the PR war.

The groups, including Greenpeace, the Wilderness Society, World Wide Fund for Nature, Australian Conservation Foundation and Friends of the Earth, have acknowledged that the public mood has shifted following the collapse of the Copenhagen climate talks and blows to the credibility of the IPCC.

James Norman, of the Australian Conservation Foundation, said the strategy of ignoring climate change sceptics had not worked as it had been taken as confirmation of their claims. ''The stakes are too high to remain silent or disorganised in the face of this systemic disinformation campaign,'' Mr Norman said.

He said the global campaign was being funded by anti-climate-change think tanks such as the American Atlas Economic Research Foundation and the British International Policy Network, which had both received grants from oil company ExxonMobil.

''I wouldn't be surprised if they (ExxonMobil) have connections here in Australia as well,'' he said.

Pachauri has been resisting calls for stepping down from the IPCC chair. For the rest of us who don’t want to confuse ‘science’ with ‘kazoombaa’, Gray has some advice, “There’s one (scientific study) born every minute. If somebody tells you what is going to happen in 100 years’ time I suggest kicking him out of the door.”
