The Reference Frame: Beware the global warming fascists
Even mild-mannered chaps such as Johnny Ball get angry when they meet children at schools who have been brainwashed by the AGW crackpottery and who are scared of the future instead of being excited by the future - and by science. As he says, unimaginable amounts of money are effectively being poured down the drain, taking the future of millions of young people with it.
How we know recent global warming is not natural « Climate Progress
Skeptics like Spencer and Lindzen believe that the default assumption should be one which requires that a very large body of scientific evidence is wrong. The only alternative hypothesis they have put forth cannot explain the many empirically-observed “fingerprints” which are consistent with human-caused global warming. Although Spencer’s unspecified “natural internal cycle” hypothesis has not been explicitly disproved, there is a very low likelihood that it is correct. For this reason, we should operate under the assumption that humans are causing dangerous global warming – an assumption which is supported by a very large body of evidence – until the skeptics can provide solid reason to believe that this scientific theory is wrong.

Tony Juniper, an environmental advisor to the Prince of Wales and former head of Friends of the Earth, sums it up thus: "Baby boomers like steak and chips, lots of flying around and a big house." I'm inclined to say: ''Who doesn't?'' – certainly the Prince of Wales seems to.

The commission is urging older people to change their habits. They must become vegetarian, go for more walks and visit the cinema instead of watching television at home. What a cheek!
