And to think that if it was the other way around, he would have been hailed as some sort of genius by the very same people who are now dragging him down. I guess he has fallen in with those other discredited alarmists, like NASA and all those major science academies.

thinker 2,

despite any amount of facts, some people never change their opinion when it threatens their world view (ie sense of reality).
They'd more easily accept the notion of a planet-wide ultra-conspiracy for world domination than concede that they may actually be wrong.

That's why some still believe in talking snakes and unicorns and will kill others who dare to think otherwise.

I would ask my fellow believers not to be too upset with the runners and hasbeens of the world.
After all they are going to have to live out the remainder of their lives knowing how wrong they have been.
Then again maybe not, the ability to understand seems absent.
EG Carbon tax would cripple us.
Thomson should resign, the slipper crafting scandal mongers should be left to the police.

The Hasbeens and the Runners of the world I can forgive because their nonsensical, ill informed thinking does no real harm.
However, those who, despite having access to the best information, willfully promote denialist lies for profit, political power or influence, such as Tony Abbott, Alan Jones, Plimer, Monkton and Rinehart's toyboy Andrew Bolt, they must never be forgiven.
They must go down in history as people who put their personal gain before humanity.
And they should be made to pay, heavily.

Well, I always knew an injured animal was most vicious, but this is the first time I have observed just how vicious, {& self delusional] a dying animal could be.

The fraud is over fellers, it's failed. Why don't you give it up now, & save yourselves a mountain of pain with a slow death.
