From the fevered mind of conspiracy theorist Michael Mann: "the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by industry front groups and individuals like the Koch Brothers to attack and intimidate the scientists have partly achieved their goal"

Experts: U.N. Climate Report Will Not Sway U.S. Deniers — Naharnet
"The IPCC report will help for the observers and the public to understand where the majority of the scientists' opinion stands," said Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
"But I don't think it will change the mind of the hard core deniers."
Meyer added: "We don't call them skeptics, because they are not putting forward alternatives ideas and having them tested in a peer review journals. They basically deny this problem."

"Their intent is to intimidate scientists and, indeed, to get them to second guess themselves," said Michael Mann, professor at Penn State University and author of "The Hockey Stick and the Climate War."

"In that sense, the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by industry front groups and individuals like the Koch Brothers to attack and intimidate the scientists have partly achieved their goal," Mann told AFP.

These people are such a disappointment. I mean if I had the IRS operating as a terrorist organization in support of my political philosophy, I'd have a deptment head doctor up some proof.

These thundering luddites can't even come up with a forgery supporting their case after twenty years of spouting the same b***s###.

Incompetent even at fraud.
