We must stop tolerating the rejection and distortion of science. We must insist on an end to the cynical use of pseudo-studies known to be false for the purpose of intentionally clouding the public's ability to discern the truth."

Noel you just dont understand, this is particularly aimed at his opponents and anyone who disagrees with him. It is his way of sounding reasonable and having the blind continue to follow him to the alter. He will never admit his falsehoods or misdeeds. What liberal ever has? After all the debat has been over for some time now. I am some what kidding of course

Yunz guys, look at the Gore picture with this story (don't know if it's intentional on Noel's part).  He's got his finger up as if testing the wind.

`Bout says it all ...

After all, does the snake oil salesman ever admit that his salve really won’t cure all that ails you?

Actually, most of those cure-all potions were found to be poisonous, and had things like morphine and cocaine and heroin in them so folks would become addicted and keep the salesmen in constant business.

`Bout says it all ... again.

This is pretty damn good.  It's an actual pat-on-the-back for the USA. (Kudoes to instapundit)

Gore-bot thinks he's far more intelligent than most, when in fact he is so stultifyingly stupid and transparent that it is painful.  He answers not to the American people, but to the American elitists and his Chinese paymasters. 

He manipulates science and knows full well that his confederates in the MSM will go along with his scam.  And what is worse it that he tries so hard to be an aristocrat that he ostentatiously places personal ambition far above the nation and the citizens he once swore to protect.

Scumbag.  Loser.  Imbecile.

Liberal: a power worshipper without power. George Orwell

Thanks to NewsBusters (but not ABC), we learned that NASA scientist and principal AGW prophet James Hansen has been making dire predictions about global warming and its effects for the last 26 years, none of which have come true.

In today's New York Times, Al Gore asks for yet another ten years to prove the theory of AGW.

In the reality based community, most legitimate climate scientists agree that Gore's case in "An Inconvenient Truth" is generally accurate, although they may quibble over specific details. (And of course they quibble among themselves over specific details.)

The really sad thing is that some conservatives---apparently beliieving that to acknowledge what Gore and so many scientists are saying threatens their free-market ideology---are involved in a desperate effort to hold back the tide of evidence using a range of silly and/or deceptive tactics. One such tactic is repeated use of the term "alarmist"---when in fact, most of us are simply responding prudently to an abundance of evidence provided by thousands of climate scientists around the world. Then there is the myth of a robust debate in the scientific community----usually pressed by using the names and statements of the same half-dozen contrarian scientists. And of course there is the charge that the "alarmists" are involved in some sort of conspiracy to create a one-world socialist government---when in fact moving toward an energy regime based on renewables and enhanced efficiency will provide immense economic opportunities for cutting-edge capitalists.

All very sad.

Asking him to debate the actual facts and science would be like asking David Attenborough to debate the molecular science of evolution with Dr. Behe, or John Lithgow to debate the current cosmological theories with Dr. Stephan Hawking.

He is of course also an advocate, so, he should accept debates with other advocates on an equal footing.

And lastly, since he is also an "entrapaneur" who has founded a company to trade carbon credits and thereby has an economic interest in promoting one particular viewpoint, it is incumbent upon the media to expose any false statements, incorrect facts and new information that bears on the discussion. Of course since most of the main stream media are also advocates (instead of journalists) this will be a rare event at best.

Amazingly, the Left has come up with a new scientific method which shall now replace the old outdated version (where challenging theories was strongly encouraged). 

The new scientific method is:

I know the truth so you shut up or I will call your momma bad names.
