The denialists cling to that fiction.

Well, let's see:

The "Hokey Stick" denies the little Iace Age that ended in 1850, it
denies the Medieval Warm Period, and when other researchers stuffed
random numbers into it, it still produced a Hokey Stick.

Right: THE CONSPIRACY (TM). They're all in on it. Even the NRC.

"...stuffed random numbers ..." Haw! You're hilarious.



That's pretty evident that the denial is in Luke, and it borders on
dementia.

Coming from a guy who believed the Ol' Perfesser, that's amusing, too.


Here's some easy reading to consider:

Quite! Mann's "work" is right up there with Flat Earth and
"Intelligent Design"
type garbage.

How ironic that you are unable to recognize AGW deniers using the same
tactics as your buddy Ben Stein. I wonder what your reaction will be
to his film about mainstream science suppressing Intelligent Design.
Did you hear your other AGW denier buddy Limbaugh slurping him on the
radio?

Cognitive dissonance seems to be your fate in life, doesn't it?




This was just sent to me by a friend...



You may be aware of a piece of creationist propaganda called "Expelled:
No Intelligence Allowed." I know at least some of you are familiar with
a wonderful blog called Pharyngula
(http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/)
written by PZ Myers, a professor of biology at the University of
Minnesota.

So with background out of the way, I got to hear this story... Last
night there was a screening of "Expelled" at the Mall of America.
Attendees had to register in advance for tickets. Myers appears in the
film and even gets an acknowledgment of gratitude. So he registered,
along with his family and a guest, the guy who told this story.

While waiting in line to sign in for the screening, a cop came up to
Myers and told him he was not going to be allowed to enter. A producer
had recognized him and told the cops to, well, expel him from the
premises. Apparently his intelligence and scientific knowledge were not
welcome. Maybe he'd contaminate the vibe or something.

So he went downstairs to the Apple store while his family and guest
went
ahead watched the flick, which by all accounts ranged from laughable to
pathetic.

The irony level is obviously screaming towards the stratosphere by this
point. But here's what pushes it over the edge. Myers' guest, who
apparently was not recognized and who told this story this morning
was...Richard Dawkins!


Good stuff, eh?
