Pretty similar to the attacks in this thread. If you don't run with the sheep you're a "retard", a "right-wing whacko", a "redneck" or you "suck Bushes cock", etc.
Meanwhile the world has spent over 1 trillion dollars with zero effect on something that has become as much of a blind faith excercise as any religion. The followers believe themselves to be enlightened and wise while declaring the doubters "misled", or in their best vernacular "stupid".
Hacks like Al Gore make millions peddling his "documentary" and travellling side-show while scientists like Henrik Svensmark and Richard Lindzen, and films like The Great Global Warming Swindle are all marginalized because they dare to speak out against the "consensus".
And you know what they say about environmentalists: they're like watermelons - green on the outside and red on the inside. Environmentalism is the new Marxism/socialism. The stated goals might differ but the outcomes will be the same - more government control of our lives, less freedom and economic hardship for the masses (but riches for the elite).

That you so much for pointing out exactly why those denying any human influence on global warming are often idiots.
Let me first state that people like Lindzen and Svensmark are *not* idiots. They're scientists who actually know something about the subject, and come to a different conclusion than the scientific mainstream. Since it is important for different viewpoints to be heard, that can only be a good thing.
You, on the other hand, *are* an idiot. The final paragraph makes it very clear *why* you're an idiot: your opposition to the theory of human influence on global warming is a *political* opposition, not a scientific one.
You're like the people who oppose the theory of evolution because they consider themselves conservatives, or the people who refuse to accept common economic theories because they are socialists.
Newsflash: reality does not change merely because of your political views.
