One of the common falsehoods of Albert Gore and his ilk.  If you cannot
argue your case from a basis of science and facts, attack the character of
your opponents.  Try telling this to the faces of the scientists who signed
the 'Statement of Atmospheric Scientists' or the signers of the Lepzig
Declaration.  Like the below list of real atmospheric scientists following,
who are all senior members of the American Meterological Society and among
the initial signers of the 1992 'Statement..' (see
www.his.com/~sepp/statement.html).  These scientists put their professional
reputations on the line and signed the following statement:

"We are disturbed that activists, anxious to stop energy and economic 
growth, are pushing ahead with drastic policies without taking notice 
of recent changes in the underlying science. We fear that the rush to 
impose global regulations will have catastrophic impacts on the world
economy, on jobs, standards of living, and health care, with the most 
severe consequences falling upon developing countries and the poor."
