Left-wing TM  Env. Scientist Bails Out Of Global Warming Movement: Declares it a 'corrupt social phenomenon...strictly an imaginary problem of the 1st World middleclass'  

Exclusive New Video: Calls cap-and-trade an 'horrendous scam' -- Joins other left of center scientific and activist dissenters
In a hard-hitting and new exclusive video just released by Climate Depot, Dr. Rancourt declares that the entire man-made global warming movement is nothing more than a “corrupt social phenomenon.” “It is as much psychological and social phenomenon as anything else,


 ( I do wish somebody would make up their mind. I can't keep up with being portrayed as a GOP Tea Party brainwashed for finding I am 'left of centre'. Given that the centre in the U.S.A. is an illusion populated by conservatives that's no trick - even though I've been dumb enough to be a 'centrist' or abstainer for years.  
Why ? You don't think being convinced of institutional corruption lasting centuries - at a minimum, eons being perfectly plausible and even recorded - leads to naive trust in the innate virtues of the 'system', do you ? )

Exposed: Global Warming Deniers

If the world's top climatologists are all convinced that the burning of fossil fuels is causing dangerous global warming, why do the media keep giving equal time to deniers? No matter how strong the scientific consensus becomes, the campaign to discount climate change -- financed by the fossil-fuel industries and conservative foundations -- continues. Fortunately, so does the effort to set the record straight and tell people the truth. The past year has brought three superb books documenting the paid political attack on climatology, which is nothing less than a paid political attack on science itself.

( Oh noes. Not attacking perversion of science and misreporting of stage-managed 'studies' purporting to 'prove' the unprovable : that a chaotic mess of peripheral influences - known and not,measured or not - upon a variety of reflective and semi-reflective surfaces and mists and oceans and ice  of varying albedo and heat storage and conduction capacity - also including a vast mobile reservoir conveyor of global heat distribution -  in an open system prone to cyclic variation in orbit around a  Variable Star in a course through the galaxy has an understandable - and modelable - limit of complexity which can then be verified in a timeline of years as proving predictions made upon attaining such a model....suitably simplified by excluding uneccessary complexity of course. Madison Avenue has really overdone itself on this one. What happened to 'in science nothing is proven' ?

For that matter - what happened to the recorded variations in temperature in the deep past ? There's no law I'm aware of requiring  data points used in averages conform to time limits of variation within a cycle as desired by the 'analyst' as being the actual point on the cycle.  That's usually called 'cherry picking.' 

It's a good thing I'm no scientist and can't get caught up in paid representations !  My skepticism of political manoeuvering isn't useful positioning for fakery. )

Chris Christie Skeptical That Global Warming Is Caused By Humans

"to be honest with you, I don't know"

( Some straightforward 'denial' isn't it ? Not so much ? What a shock. At 3752 comments - and I made a couple - this is not what I consider a manageable conversation - nor an intelligent assessment sparking it.  )

( Make that 'against reprehensible reframing of others' positions' and we might get close to rational discussion ; difficult when lies are the order of the day.  It's interesting though : there is so much pushback against the 'frame' that rebuttal has been mechanized to propagandize via incessant repetition. 'Scientific consensus' anyone ?  )
