Wingnut Science
The one so-called expert conservatives who are on the industrial take on the global warming issue go to is Steven Milloy a Cato member and FOX NEWS columnist. Through misinformation, out of context quoting, ad populum appeal, ignorance of the masses when it comes to science, and finally ad hominem attack, Milloy seeks to discredit climate scientists like Dr. James Hansen . While citing political bias on the other side, Milloy and the conservatives have nothing but politics on theirs.
The Washington Post has to give deference to the so-called skeptical minority of scientists who get their politics ahead of their facts. The key word is minority. There's a reason why they are: their reasoning is mushy. "It's complicated," they say. Not really.

Yeah running from reality is a common theme for this bunch.
My answer to Woody, Roper et al is this:
We get the joke just fine. You do it because of your gross ignorance. Mocking what you don't understand is a tried and true naysayer propaganda technique.
Your support of democracy is the real scream. Now that's hilarious!
I'll stack my credentials and those of my sources against yours any day. I have and you've run from them like roaches in the moonlight.
I wonder if this is the same Steven Milloy I once knew....
I don't know. His trail is easy to follow and so is his biased methodology.
