Global Warming Dissenters Suppressed?
sycodon writes "Global Warming has become more than just a scientific issue and has been portrayed as nothing less than the End of the World by some. However, despite all the hoopla from Hollywood, Politicians and Science Bureaucrats, there is another side, but it's being suppressed according to Richard Lindzen, an Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT. From the article: 'Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.'"
besides grant funding and public attention for their pet theories?
nazi in disguise as a neo-con
Please provide an example...how about Paul Wolfowitz, heh?
I ask because most Republican pundits and politicians seem utterly incapable of making an argument without dipping into the pot of logical fallacies, in your case the red herring. Obviously, Earth's climate has undergone radical changes in the past. The problem of global warming today is that the aforementioned 99.9% of scientists agree that yes, it is happening, and becuase of human actions. So whatever happens on Mars is bat-shit irrelevant to what's happening here.
Ah, anything to dismiss the numbers.
THE TEMPERATURE HASN'T RISEN SINCE 1998. Global warming kooks will never have an answer for this.

People who disagree with global warming lack imagination
People who say such things are ignorant of the hard facts about the lack of actual global warming going on.
I suggest everyone read Michael Crichton's lecture about how environmentalism is a religion--it has the concept of an untouched natural Eden marred by man with a judgement day for the sinners who don't follow the creed.
The temperature hasn't even risen since 1998 according to official global temperature record. Funny how none of the mainstream media is reporting it, eh? I bet you never even heard about it until this post. Think about that for a second. What else isn't being reported?

We only contribute 0.28% of greenhouse gases according to official numbers. 5% if you remove water vapor, which most global warming kooks do to jack up the numbers. Temps haven't risen since 1998.
You won't hear any of this in the media. They have an obvious agenda.
