Hateful left-wing warmist Damian Carrington fears that allegedly elderly skeptics will not die off quickly enough; uses the words "fringe" eight times and "right-wing" seven times in one article about climate realists

The out-of-touch fringe of right-wing climate change sceptics is a dangerous and expensive drag on climate action, but it needn't be that way

...The fact that a coherent right-wing response is easily made suggests something more fundamental underlies the deniers' position. That response was made by Tim Yeo, another Conservative MP, and chair of the energy and climate change committee. It is clear that the risks of inaction are too high, he said, and creating a low-carbon and resource efficient economy will give the UK a huge economic and competitive advantage in a world in which both temperature and population is rising. "We led the first industrial revolution and we can lead the second," he said. At this point, climate sceptics Benny Peiser, from the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and journalist Dominic Lawson roared with laughter and almost fell off their chairs...The sceptics are a fringe within a fringe...

....An alternative, as Yeo has pointed out on a previous occasion, is to simply let nature take care of the elderly sceptics, who will go to their graves sooner than the rest of the population. The question is will either happen quickly enough to avoid the six degrees of warming to which the IEA says our current path will lead?

I fear not, which leads me to a final point.

Hey, Damian: New unbelievers are being created faster than the old ones are dying off; many of them will outlive you.

If you're a scientist trying to convince people they are making the world warmer, Kristen Byrnes is your worst nightmare. She's articulate, intelligent, she has a Web site, and one day her people will be running the world. Her people, meaning 16-year-olds.

Isn't this the reason why we have ObamaCare?
