The media, polls and even scientists suggest the global warming scare is all over but the shouting
By Lawrence Solomon


I think the Denialists have modeled themselves on the Iraqi Information
Minister. Remmeber that guy?

"In an age of spin, al-Sahaf offers feeling and authenticity. His message
is consistent -- unshakeable, in fact, no matter the evidence -- but he
commands daily attention by his on-the-spot, invective-rich variations on
the theme. His lunatic counterfactual art is more appealing than the banal
awfulness of the Reliable Sources. He is a Method actor in a production
that will close in a couple of days. He stands superior to truth."
