#1 When I read about the pseudo-scientific drivel that exudes from Gore and his addled minions, all I can think about is how Galileo must have felt, trying to promote his heliocentric theory of the motion of the solar system.

I'm sure that glaciers could smother New York City and Los Angeles, and snowmen be built in Death Valley - and the Glowbawl Warming apologists would still be defending their inane theories.

#2 They're not really inane theories, to me, it seems they are working just fine... that is, in upping the ante of "global governance", asking for world-wide redistribution of wealth, for me gvt interventionism, allowing transational ngos a great deal of (non-answerable) power,... and not to mention getting some people VERY rich, starting with Mr. strong & gore.

#3 Just remember these guys aren't just wacko pseudo scientists. They are power brokers who want to invent carbon trading credits as a way to finance the UN and which will deliver the next securitized debt debacle.

#5 Have no fear our lord and messiah Barack Obama will solve global warming, lower the oceans, and solve all the problems in the Middle East. And imagine what he'll do after lunch.

#6 That the alarmists are being publicly busted in the mass media is a sign of progress. As long as temperatures had been (naturally) increasing, global warming alarmists were able to convince many. However, temperatures are no longer increasing. Many are no longer convinced.

As the earth's temperature fails to increase or even cools back down, alarmists will look increasingly foolish to an increasing number of people.

#7 Aren't Hansen's "data" also the ones which he would never release directly, in raw form, for others to evaluate? (an astounding and unprecedented thing to do in science, I believe)

Not that any proof were needed, but will THIS outrageous unscientific and clearly unethical behavior beging to wake anybody up?

Essentially falsified data, increasing use of weasel words by the IPCC (hedging their previously strong bets), models that are no better than random number generators - HELLO.

Gov. Arnold? GOP? Anybody home?

Not that I was under any illusions about science, as a human endeavor practiced in human society, with all that implies (and having been assigned Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" no less than 3 times in high school and college) - but does anyone else get the sense that, with few exceptions, many key professions and lines of work are just collapsing in terms of their integrity? Or is it just me?

#8 Dr. Hansen has been a rebel for years. Camped out in NY because he was ostracised from Greenbelt,Md. He's sloppy, lazy, and has a big mouth. No wonder Fat Albert patronizes him. It's time to retire him and stop listening to his babble.

#10 As with the crisis in Iraq, the GW crisis will pass just in time for O to claim victory.

The man is charmed. Hm, Barack means 'blessing' according to Pipes?
