Default Newsflash: The fightback campaign against sceptics

"Eric Gisin" wrote in message

The left is ****ed of that a grass-roots skeptic movement outnumbers
the alarmist camp on the web. The solution: organize a campain of
alarmism in blog comments. Wonder when they'll invade usenet.


I think they are here already.

The advocates of man-made global warming are getting "sick of
reading" all the comments by the masses of skeptical public citizens.

They're desperate enough to try to rally the troops in blog comment
land. They must be hurting.
Are you fed up with sceptics and pseudo-scientists dominating blogs
and news articles with their denialist propaganda? Well, fight back!
We are trying to create an online army of online volunteers to try
and tip the balance back in the favour of scientific fact, not
scientific fiction.
To sign up, . just enter your email on their site.
Lucky you, you'll get a message every day pointing you to climate
change news articles where teams of coordinated unskeptical people
might congregate to repeat the same messages you've heard every day
for the last 20 years. Somehow AGW advocates hope that these same
messages will still work after the leading heroes were caught saying
"pretty awful things" in emails. Somehow they feel sure that people
will be motivated to leap to help scientists who hide parts of
graphs, lose records and leave out caveats and uncertainties in the
"megadocuments" that our tax dollars pay for.
There's any number of angles you might want to take but pointing out
that the vast majority of climate scientists are sure that man made
climate change is happening is not a bad one.
ie. Step One - They suggest Argument from Authority.

Or how the fossil fuel companies are funding "think-tanks" whose job
it is is to try and undermine the science of climate change.

Step Two - Go for the ad hom. Smear! Smear! Smear!

Or ..(I could go on forever). You've probably got lots to say
already (so much truth to tell.) but you can also use the links on
our Links page to back up your argument, or any of the further
information on our Sceptics page.
Step 3: After the illogical stuff, and the bullying, then maybe .
consider some science.
.

BTW My Links page has some handy resources.

And My Index page will help you find topics I have written about.

(These are on the top right hand column of every post)

One last suggestion from us - you can also consider going onto the
offensive and explain that the real uncertainty about man-made
climate change is not whether its happening but how fast its
happening and that in fact there is increasing evidence that the
mainstream science of the IPCC is actually underestimating the scale
and imminence of the threat. See our Climate Emergency page and the
links at the bottom.
While they recommend being offensive, I recommend good manners.

It's also better to think for yourself, instead of cut and pasting
baseless arguments and helping to contribute to a
banker-and-bureaucrat propaganda campaign.
Remember: everyone makes a difference. And if course you can
unsubscribe at any time.
The Campaign against Climate Change is run by George Monbiot, Liberal
democrat, Labour, and Green party MP's, as well as a few journalists.

Michael Meacher MP (Labour, Oldham West and Royton)Minister of
State for the Environment May 1997 - June 2003
Norman Baker MP (Liberal Democrats, Lewes)Lib-Dem Environment
Spokesperson Caroline Lucas MEP (Green Party, South East)
