Are you a climate change creationist?

[Col 'NDX]

Climate change creationists is a more accurate way to describe those who deny evidence that human-induced global warming is occurring

Whenever you have a group that is guilty of something, best to accuse the opposition of that first! Called the big lie.

I find this descriptive of the AGW movement. (from the link in the previous post)

So what can we replace it with? How do you sum up an intellectual stance that has a pre-conceived position that is unyielding to the most compelling evidence; ignores mounting and alarming data from numerous scientific fields backing up the opposing position; and clutches at the most ephemeral of straws that can be twisted to support its arguments? How to capture the sheer head-in-the-sand-fingers-in-the-ears bloody mindedness?

Describes Gore & Hansen to a tee.

When they call Bellamy a creationist, one must laugh.
Prof Bellamy is a leading conservationist and long time environmentalist. The AGW mob froth at the mouth over him, as he "has departed the faith" from their perspective.

To compare Bellamy with right wing American fundamentalists is side-splitting laughable.

"Fundamentalism" isn't just limited to the radical religious right, it applies to any philosophy where beliefs are resistant to reasoned discussion.

A significant number of predictions made by scientists in support of "AGW" have long since come true, and despite being cooler here than in many recent years, the weather is still acting precisely as it should given what CO2 does to the atmosphere.

A significant number of predictions made by scientists who do not believe in "AGW"; have long since come true, and one of these is that it is cooler than in many recent years despite the rapid rise in green house gas emissions, the weather is acting precisely as it should given that CO2 has no effect on the atmosphere and the suns activity is at a minimum.

See we can both play at unsupported postulates.
