Well the scientific community has NOT done a good job of addressing the issues identified by Dr. Lindzen, and Coulter is not receiving a Nobel Prize for global warming, so I believe comparing Lindzen to Gore is appropriate whereas Coulter is just a political pundit.

Anthropogenic global warming theory is early and uncertain, not even close to, say, plate tectonics or evolution in level of certainty, but the best information currently available says that humans are playing at least some role in the current upswing. Trusting in the scientific method is not illogical. |

This is undoubtedly true, but people on the right, particularly those that recognize this, need to realize that they can hate the left for politicizing the issue without pretending the issue doesn't exist.

That's why I said we mock him because he deserves to be mocked. He's just a living cartoon who thinks he matters.

I wasn't criticizing your "trust" of the scientific method.

Al Gore and co. contend it's not a political issue, it's a moral issue, the debate is over. How are conservatives supposed to this issue when we're compared to holocause deniers when we raise concerns about the legitimacy of a science that has been politicized and therefore isn't necessarily reliable?
