Perfectly rational? It's absurd.

To see how wrong this is, all you have to do is see how scientists who dare
to disagree and to try to publish research that would disprove the theory
are excommunicated by the scientific community.

So you really believe it. The Great Conspiracy is Silencing the Seekers After
Truth!

I don't think you understand just how crazy that is.

You're saying the National Academy of Sciences (to mention just one) is lying
in it's global climate position statement.

Do you realize you are riding the same bus with the wackos who claim that the
scientific community is conspiring to hide the truth about what causes AIDS?

....that you're floating on the same barge with the loons who claim that the
scientific community is conspiring to promote the evolution "religion"?

....that you're marching in the same parade with the nuts who claim all those
rocket scientists faked the moon landings?

You need to check the crowds you're running with.


Hell, man, even Newt Gingrich admits it's game over. Time to move on.
