TMR's Honesty Test: Who's The Stupid One Now?

"So 'the vast majority of climate scientists' don't think the debate is over? Someone had better tell the IPCC, Al Gore, the Norwegian Nobel Committee and most of our colleagues in the media, who have long been insisting otherwise--and indeed, who continue to do so.

There are, no doubt, lots of true believers in global warming--not scientists, but people, including many journalists, who have embraced global warmism as a political and quasireligious doctrine based, they have been led to believe, on the authority of science.

Even Phil Jones acknowledges climate science is rife with uncertainty, but global warmism's popularizers refuse to brook any doubt or acknowledge that the 'consensus' they have touted is a sham.

And they used to call us deniers."

-- James Taranto, commenting on an interview with Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, who denies "the debate on climate change is over" for himself or other scientists - making liars and con men of everyone who insisted otherwise - and making it possible for the rest of us to finally relax, and go back to reading The Wall Street Journal.
