You are amazingly closed-minded on this subject, and unnessesarily hostile.
Demonizing or ridiculing those that doubt the extent and cause of climate change has a chilling effect on free speech that makes open, rational debate almost impossible.
When scientific data are presented as "facts," disagreement and inquiry are discouraged. But honest scientific investigation requires the assumption of falsifiability whereby no issue or conclusion is considered settled or beyond continuous investigation and experimentation.
Instead of attacking researchers that seek to challenge the status quo view on global warming, journalists should investigate the motives of the global-warming alarmists. Consider scientists that follow the "scientific consensus" line. They have a strong incentive to do so to gain access to billions of dollars of public funds for studies into global warming. Meanwhile, politicians use "fear" to soften up citizens so that they willingly give up more hard-earned income to pay carbon taxes.
Try watching Global Warming Swindle at MySpace tv. Yes, I believe global warming is real, but I'm not foolish enough to believe all this hype about human co2 admissions and the doomsday for all us sinners who don't repent and "go green" with a cult-like passion. Believe what you believe, but at least allow others the respect to consider that their beliefs might be just as valid as yours.
