There is a person who’s columns I regularly read, because I often find it fun to disagree with him. This person is George Will, conservative commentator and phony-baloney. I call him a phony-baloney, because it seems to fit with the old-fashioned bow tie he sometimes chooses to wear on television programs like Sunday’s political talk show on ABC, This Week. Why is he a phony-baloney? Well, most of all because he is one of the few members of the mainstream press who still perpetuates the myth that global warming might not exist, even though approximately 99% of the scientific community agrees that it is occuring and that it is most likely a phenomenon urged on by the human race. My primary case in point against phony-baloney, is his attack today in The Washington Post on the listing of polar bears as a threatened species.

Every now and then one side of an argument or another will get a landfall win that just puts them over the top for awhile. In science, it doesn’t necessarily always hold, but just occasionally, this win does manage to help in the long run.

Well, for those of us who see man-made global warming as the backbone of our current climate change, that win has just been put in our laps.

A blog I had yet to hear about, DeSmogBlog, has managed to find at least 45 “outraged scientists” that once belonged to the famed Heartland Institute article entitled “500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares” that, in reality, don’t doubt anything.
