Ignore your detractors, PtB. They're angry at you for exposing the god-hatred behind the AGW scam.
I urge you to spread the word. If you can get the public to associate religious fundamentalism with AGW skepticism, and combine it with the scientific credentials of the Heartland Institute, skeptics will soon enjoy the same popularity and credibility as the Intelligent Design community. Do it for Jesus. Posted by Sancho, Friday, 19 June 2009 3:08:36 PM

"even in such far off corners as the Media and Communications department of the School of Social Sciences at the University of Woollongong in New South Wales Australia" It appears that the "Middle Kingdom" mentality is florishing in the USA, what is this insular ignoramus suggesting, the further away from America the lower the IQ or academic standards.

To suggest Global Warming is anti-Christian, where is the logic in that.
It's a bit like saying there was no Jewish holocaust because God would never let it happen, again where is the logic in that. It makes little difference if you deny Global Warming is man-made or not The planet is warming and we all have a responsibility to do what ever we can. The GW deniers are suggesting because people die on the roads everyday the law is not working so we should have no regulations. Keep up the good work Sharon. One good thing comes from the deniers, it keeps the issue topical and hopefully in our face enough to do something about it. Posted by beefyboy, Friday, 19 June 2009 5:35:04 PM

BeefyBoy. You should have said, "There is no God, because if there was, then He would not have let the holocaust happen to His chosen people."
Getting back to the subject of global warming, there are plenty of people who believe that global warming, which is in my opinion, undeniable, may have several causes, one of which may be man made, but as well may be caused by unrecognised (at least by the unwashed multitude) natural causes. If you look at the changes of temperature vs CO2 in the Wikipedia site, it is quite apparent that for the past 800,000 years, nature has been at work with temperatures and CO2 levels rising and falling in concert. In more recent times, the CO2 levels have risen significantly above what might have been expected, had not man intervened. This may even prove to be our salvation, as both the rise in CO2 and the increase in temperature should result in higher plant growth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Co2-temperature-plot.svg David Posted by VK3AUU, Friday, 19 June 2009 8:15:40 PM

You say "Attention climate change denialists:" OK, that's the folks who don't believe that the climate actually changes correct - so they DENY that climate can change or does change, just so we understand your particular intended childish insult and don't get it wrong.
But then you quote "Climate report stresses urgent action. Researchers are warning the planet is facing a growing risk of abrupt and irreversible climatic shifts unless carbon emissions are reduced."
So how do these things relate? So you want to draw Climate Change "denialists" attention to a report which is in panic and alarm that the climate might change?
So the "denialists" are actually those who don't want the climate to change, like you - me, I'm a questioner of man made CO2 contributing to warming, but I don't know of anyone who "denies that climate changes" except the devout like yourself who constantly sneer at anyone with a differing opinion. I don't have a problem with the climate changing, you apparently do.. so you want to stop climate change .. good luck with that, can you stop volcanos as well, or as someone said recently , why not start with something smaller, like the tide. Hilarious!
Let us all know, please, if you find anyone at all who doesn't think the climate changes and actually denies that it does. WAFI.
