Sandbox bullies on discussion lists always resort to this type of
character assassination, rather than discussion of issues. It's
interesting to see this buddy-buddy relationship displayed here.
Climate change dissent prompts emotional responses everywhere, as it
challenges the status quo of perpetual economic growth, "sustainable"
development, and the clique of scientific respectability.
Uncritical acceptance and promotion of fantastic doctrines, such as
"irreversible climate change," adds credence to an otherwise dodgy
viewpoint. The global warming band wagon has been under construction
for thirty years. Finally, many are discovery it has no wheels.
