If "denierism" were really driven primarily by selfish interests and propaganda, wouldn't it make sense the "oil geologists" should rank lower than the American public they're evilly trying to sway (who are also being INTENSIVELY propagandized by environmental groups?
Something new comes around and they forget it.. arghhhhIts frustrating how many people think that global warming is a PR stunt, ignorance is .. not bliss
@localzuk: It's true that bulleted lists and point-directed responses are good for science but this is a different type of discussion. I'm an engineer so I am used to the former method but I still prefer to read good prose when it comes to political and social discussions.
The science isn't wrong.Science is never wrong.Neither are scientists. They are the infallible paragons of reason that will save us from traditional morality and difference of thought!

That's because a lot of it was really driven by high gas prices. This is why we need a carbon tax.

I was implying that public concern was driven by high gas prices. Until you get that, you won't know much about how to read.

They said it, not Chazzone. Don't downvote him because you're all too ignorant to take people at their word.

Yes, yes. Cooling proves warming and this is just a... a pause! Lulz.
