I posted a while back on this thread about a great article that came out in NG about climate deniers. This may have been it. It all goes back to extremist points of view. Climate deniers, no matter how solid the research is, or how good the numbers are, can always fall back on the catch-all excuse that everything's fake.... everything's fudged. There's a conspiracy against industry... against good ol' progress. No study will ever be good enough or real enough. On the other hand, there's no shortage of annoying doomsdayers, with whom a 10- minute conversation would be enough for anyone to want to slit their own wrists. Extremists... people with agendas and blinders on.... those are the worst types of people to have involved in any kind of argument. They unwittingly make the strongest cases for the opposite side.

It's a circus, I tell ya.
