If you challenge our theories, you are a climate change denier!!! And now you accuse Tom of inventing a denier speak, when I didn't see any conservative flash words like those employed by the left and climate change alarmists.

It will not.<br /><br />If I may borrow their caps lock style a moment, NOTHING will stop deniers from denying. There is literally no event or evidence that can overcome a position based on political or religious ideology, as anyone who has spent much time arguing with creationists knows full well.<br /><br />If sea level rise ramps up to a foot a decade in the next 20 years, it will make no difference to the Anthony Watts's of this world and their followers. Their terror of a hippie-communist-Agenda 21 world order will only increase, and their irrational denialism with it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915691567092166636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-7741082664924929632014-05-23T10:18:31.870+10:002014-05-23T10:18:31.870+10:00Gee, Sheehan / Sheahan is rubbish, isn't he.

Just perfect for WUWT.<br /><br />That first para you quote is the quintessential WUWT bed-time story: ...the public 'heard something' sciency-supported, misinterpreted it, pressured their legislators into a response, while scientists casually exploited the public's innocent but apparently damaging 'misinterpretation' for their own gain, and years later it was all sorted out and the cost bemoaned with a gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands...silly old humans. I suppose this is the Sheahan view of all interplay between the people's pan-environmental neurosis and the noble mission of our industrialist betters.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Tom's ability to sell the WUWT bed-time story is undermined by his feckless misdirection on WAIS research...that is the real essence of WUWT. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537772941984056434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-53374853667507812532014-05-23T09:41:14.082+10:002014-05-23T09:41:14.082+10:00Perhaps we should, but I'm not going to.

He has upped his daily number of articles from around 3-4 to 9 plus. The quality doesn't seem to have changed. It's as poor as ever. His audience continues to deteriorate in quality, if that's possible, going by the comments.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-16063634474547912442014-05-23T05:53:45.365+10:002014-05-23T05:53:45.365+10:00As in, "any skeptic knows the Twin Towers col...As in, "any skeptic knows the Twin Towers collapsed due to a conspiracy involving controlled demolition." :-)dbostromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885863615343906724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-72114060585577971402014-05-23T03:48:21.831+10:002014-05-23T03:48:21.831+10:00Perhaps we should all try and find some sympathy f...Perhaps we should all try and find some sympathy for the migratory flocks of climate change deniers who every year fly south to avoid reports of ice loss in the Arctic summer.
