The Reference Frame: New York Times on the disappearance of AGW hysteria
As my source – the boss of an important science department at an Ivy League university, the kind of people whose views on climate change are never looked for by the journalists ;-) – told me in the e-mail where I learned about the NYT article, Ms Rosenthal's analysis is also alarming because of the things that it doesn't say. Even though it wants to discuss the reasons why global warming is disappearing from the public radar, it hasn't mentioned the ClimateGate, it hasn't mentioned the stable temperatures since 1998 or 2001, it hasn't mentioned a sequence of harsh winters in the U.K., and it hasn't mentioned many other things that have actually led hundreds of millions of people to the conclusion that global warming isn't exactly one of the things they should worry about.

Eventually it became clear that the IPCC, which so many governments relied upon, was clearly underpinned by fraud and an unscientific political organisation in which environmental activists like Al Gore were setting the agenda.
...
I will let [Plimer] have the final word:

"If we humans, in a fit of ego, think we can change normal planetary processes that control our climate, then we need stronger medication."
