Fox, you can't leave politics out of it unfortunately. It seems that views about AGW are so closely aligned to the proponents political bias, that there is no option other than to dismiss it as simply another tool of the left that is being used to try and redistribute wealth.
I am sick to death of the smugness and self righteousness of left leaning tossbags who will not hear a counter view to their own. If someone does dissent, it is because they are variously: uneducated, ill informed, low intelligence or a bogan.
Rather than having constructive debate, they tend to shut it down by making sweeping motherhood statements and then figuratively sticking their fingers in their ears so they can't hear anymore bad things. If someone continues to not toe the party line, they must be silenced. If you want evidence, look at the attempts to get this thread locked, look at the inquiry of the thought police into News Limited.
There is a warning on the PPrune home page about sciolists. I think this thread is where they all lurk!
