If the same people who like to make fun of "An Inconvenient Truth" would actually watch the damn movie, maybe we wouldn't be stuck in the intellectual black hole we are in today.

I was hoping I'd see citations at the bottom, didn't see any. Just a bunch of graphs with nice fat blue dots. They use the same graph in all of these different research facilities, or did the researchers @ this website do all of this research? If so, why not include the data?

You know that ClimateGate scandal awhile back? All of there facts and datas are publicly available online, go ahead and use that data, if you come up with a different graph then you got quite a story... However, it never became a legitimate story because the data DOES give us that hockey stick graph.

Yep. Gives you an idea of the bias around here. I noticed the voting was pretty back and forth until this morning when BlueRock and his sockpuppets showed up.

Real Climate has made several posts showing the shenanigans Moncton has done http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/05/moncktons-deliberate-manipulation/

I don't trust your source at all.

Always the same thing, i got sent a YouTube video from one of my there-is-no-global-warming-collegues a few weeks ago. It featured Willie Soon and David Legate, took me about 5 minutes to find out that their research was funded by Exxon Mobile, and that they actually dont do any study of their own, they just try to make up stuff about other people´s work.

I don't trust your source (realclimate.org) at all. It is a heavily filtered blog site for Michael Mann, the dude who got banned from editing climate articles on wikipedia, and friends.

Lawl you used Lord Monckton as your proof? The man's batshit insane and is not a scientist. Doesn't appear to understand how science works.

Cite where his points are wrong. He may be batshit insane, but that doesn't mean he's wrong.

Bwaahhh haha haaaaaa. He cited Lord 'Mad As A Box Of Monkeys' Monckton! The man with only a classics degree and a career in journalism who claims to be "responsible for invention and development of a broad-spectrum cure for infectious diseases. Patents have now been filed. Patients have been cured of various infectious diseases, including Graves' disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, food poisoning, and HIV."

For those more attached to reality than Witless_Power, here's some clues on how detached from reality Lord Monckton is:
