I've been insulted in many ways in this thread, but that is totally beyond the pale. Call me a liberal again and I'll hunt you down and feed you through my tree shredder.

...By historians writing on the part played by Fox and the like in the decline of the United States. Whole books will be written on 'the cult of ignorance' and the worship of stupidity. In my anthropological studies I've come across a few weird religions, but I've never seen imbecility personified as a God before...

maybe people should just google themselves instead of the spin doctor approach pointing them to a certain website with a certain agenda. I see one of my fellow alma mater is a contributor. Go UC Davis Aggies! Biggest joke of a school ever.

There have been a few links to climate-skeptic sites. Thought I'd provide some balance.

The 'certain agenda' you refer to is a fairly clear and balanced summary of the current scientific consensus. One of the problems in all this is that the ordinary man in the street sees an array of competing voices making what seem like sound arguments on either side of the issue and has no way of deciding for himself who is right. That site gives the 'consensus position'.

Are there opposing voices? Yes, but they're in the minority, though the casual observer wouldn't necessarily know that.

Don't try to confuse them with facts, kendo65, their mind is made up...
