#1 Fortunately, Brits have had several opportunities to watch "The Global Warming Scam." I have seen the video and producers savaged every claim made by the Gorists. Researchers reported intimidation by same: either spout the party line, or forget about research funding that doesn't enforce Gore dogma.

Last I heard, Gore has raked in $35,000,000 from the scam. Why would he stop?

#2 Don't worry Brits. Your government will continue to raise your taxes and keep you as indentured servants to help ~~enrich them~~ fight the problem.

#5 ...many others believe scientists are exaggerating the problem...

For the most part, it's politicians, Hollywood airheads, musicians, and media pundits who are exaggerating the problem. You very rarely hear actual scientists speak on it, unless they're non-climatologists.

I talked to my sister a while back and Al Gore's name came up. She said, "Tell me you believe in global warming." I said I was very skeptical. She blurted out, "But it's so intelligent!"

I think that's part of the problem right there. People who are insecure about their intelligence seek to identify with some movement of certified Smart People[TM]. For some reason, Smart People are always gloomy.

#6 For some reason, Smart People are always gloomy.

If you look at the evidence in most people's lives, there is little reason to be gloomy. So when someone can spin a tale of why we should be gloomy it is startling and the teller seems clever.

And beside that, most "smart people" work in academia. But they really produce very little. For the forty years of brainwashing, not to be confused with brain showering, they have changed astonishingly few minds. If Fauxbamessiah doesn't win, they'll be very gloomy indeed.
