I'm not a global warming apostle by any means, but any time I hear Sean Hannity or one of his fans talk about Al Gores Suburbans, I roll my eyes and move on to something more intelligent.
So the group that hates being lumped with the al gores goes right ahead and lumps all skeptics with the Sean hannities?

Incredulous but not unexpected. As I've contended for years, there's 10% blowhards on one side, 10% blowhards on the other, and 80% at various degrees in the middle.

The AGW crowd insists that the AGW theory is absolute. The big bang theory has learned scientists that disagree and they are not called crackpots. The theory that a meteor destroyed the dinosaurs has paleontologists who don't agree with it and they are not called crackpots. But let any scientist disagree with AGW and they are called crackpots. Makes no sense.

That's a d.mn good point. To add on to it:

Nutritional science. Many, heck most, disagree with the fda.
Pharmacological science... Nuff said
Fracking- geological science
Cardiovascular science
Aerodynamics

The list is, what, every single discipline of science!

Not really. It exposes that some of the loudest voices around AGW do very little to reduce their own carbon footprints. Leo was recently criticized for taking a private jet 8000 miles, round-trip, to accept an environmentalism award. His private jet used more fuel in a day than my whole household does in a year. The electricity our house uses in a month probably runs his 5 mansions for a couple of hours.

If they really believed what they were spouting, they wouldn't live such excessive lifestyles. Its like catching a Priest with a wad of singles at a strip club. You can't really take what they say seriously when their actions expose their hypocrisy.

You kind of have it backwards, your crowd seems to deny that the climate changes when the geological record shows that it has for billions of years.

I dare you to name one poster in here that has ever denied that the climate changes.

Go on. Do it. I dare you to point out just one. Just one person.

I'll wait (forever)....

  3. They have tainted the very name "science" by trying to ascribe religious attributes to it, making compliance with the beliefs of this faction effectively a matter of faith and those who dare to question and challenge it effectively heretics.
The article below from Bloomberg covers these points and more. There is another section on the "denier" name calling tactics that I also wanted to quote, but the mods here frown on too much quoting, so I hope this quote below is enough to wet everyone's appetites for more.

In any case - to the AGW alarmists. You are doing it wrong.
They have been a success with using government all over the world to steal trillions of dollars from their citizens, to fund their global warming hysteria. They have successfully spread the wealth around by padding the wallets of their chosen corporations, educational institutions, think tanks, non-profit groups and their political and ideologically aligned cronies in general. And their politicians have been successfully buying and selling votes, to remain in power.

No, many just deny the obvious: science is never settled as to the cause, and effect, of the primary contention: man is the single reason the climate is currently changing and we need to (I'm still waiting for a solution to the problem which can't accurately be identified as yet) do silly things like create a carbon market administered by??? To fix it.

Haven't read too many not advocating a cleaner environment.
