“I think it is good to point out a few odd facts from time-to-time. The fact that there are very good scientists who are skeptics is one of those odd facts. The fact that lefty/greens/artsies are active in the AGW camp is another of those odd facts.
That does not make something a lie. Just unexpected.”

You missed the point. The number of ‘emiritus’ professors is always telling, and scientists who are outside their field of specialisation, and scientists who are not actually scientists and publishing. When you take them away, the field is pretty thin. The scientists who are ’skeptical’ are usually don’t actually know what they are talking about. As I have said before, it’s like Galileo all over again. Old farts who are out of touch can’t acknowledge the recent advances in science.

PeterB,
Another good reason to consider emigrating to Australia.

Interesting article in this weekend’s Fin Review saying that Australia has become a world leader in climate change scepticism. Sen. Fielding has apparently created quite a favourable impression and has told a recent gathering that Sen. Wong’s response to him was insufficient.

SJT,
Something is working right. I see you actually using the ‘S’ word, “skeptic”, and I thank you for it.

YOu said it SJT “……”Green” activists, who are made up of actors, airheads, dreamers, romanticists.”

I’ve got a few chooks of my own. I think they’d turn up their beaks at the scraps you feed your lot. Louis’s looking skinny and coho’s not laying regularly (may have an egg stuck iin it’s b*m), you better watch out for the RSPCA.

It’s all about the framing, isn’t it? The AGW side is represented by “Green” activists, who are made up of actors, airheads, dreamers, romanticists. The Skeptic side is represented entirely by many scientists who are experts in climate and actively researching and publishing in that area.

The framing misrepresents entirely what the situation actually is, but it does it’s job, it creates the lie.
