Creds can, and have been, a major element of credulity.

He was debunked.

RealClimate: Lindzen in Newsweek

And debunked again:

Lindzen debunked again: New scientific study finds his paper downplaying dangers of human-caused warming is "seriously in error" | ThinkProgress

This is on top of accepting money from oil companies and speaking at conferences sponsored by right wing PR firms who also defended big tobacco.

He has vilified himself... but now that he's retired, they're going to have a hard time finding someone else willing to espouse similar views.

Which brings up a good question... are the Left being Grubered or Trenberthed???

So what exactly makes you and everyone else so willing to completely dismiss AGW?

I believe because I trust the AGW arguments I've read from people with impressive scientific credentials. So what have you read that makes you think it's a scam?

I mean, in this case, wouldn't 'I don't know enough about the issue to say either way' be a much better answer than 'pffff... it's a hoax and everyone who believes it is stupid!'?

All I see in these threads is people who can barely form coherent thoughts declaring that they're smarter than NASA scientists.

I thought that right-wingers were all about hard work... so why is it that they can put absolutely no effort into understanding the issue and still think they possess an informed opinion?

This comment reminds me of what happens when children are allowed to sit at the adults table.
The only suitable response is a condescending grin, followed by a stern look to remind you to mind your manners.

Sure, I read it right, but it's not right.

Deception is a component of "smart" for the "educated".

Say what? Since when?

I think we need a bit more to warm up November...it most definitely IS considered a green house gas. In fact, the biggest one!
