“It’s also important to remember that realclimate is not a scientific publication, but a shill for the climate terrorists.”

Well, I never said it was a scientific publication, but the myth of a “global cooling scare” hyped by the majority of climate scientists is plainly and provably false. But I guess someone who thinks poeple who study the climate are “terrorists” it might be a hard thing to grasp.

“But the notion that all “scientific bodies who study the climate have issued statements saying that anthroprogenic global warming is real” is demonstrably false.”

You then argue against my claim by showing individual scientists. Well, Brian, you can find individual scientists who think HIV doesn’t cause AIDS or who think evolution is a hoax. I’m talking about things like the AGU, the NOAA, the EPA, the Royal Society, the NAS. Scientific bodies, like I said.

“in spite of dispositive evidence of it’s validity.”

That may be true for whatever theory you are talking about, but there is no alternate theory to AGW that is not easily disprovable with observations or basic physics.

“It may well be that it is a myth to say that there was no scientific consensus about Global Cooling. But so what?”

So why do people repeat this myth? Why are they desperate to have it believed?
