    Hurray for Sailfree!

    I'm glad he's here to accurately and decisively tell all those hundreds of geologists, climatologists, environmental biologists, and Nobel Laureates exactly how they don't understand science or the scientific method (including the one who lives down the street from him, and Dr. Chu, the nominee for the Secretary of Energy).

    Yeah, all they do is engage in "shoot the messenger" tactics by dismissing all this important data because it's linked to conservative policy institutes and may have some sort of agenda. Like Sailfree says "They report, you decide," just like that bastion of unbiased reporting... whatchamacallit ... some news channel.

    I'm sure glad Sailfree doesn't lower himself to those standards by using ad hominem attacks on "Church of Global Warming."

    Let's hear it for the Church of Global Warming Denial!
