You slipped in the 'deniers' tag early in your reply. Are you talking about people who don't accept the religion of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) or are you talking about holocaust deniers? It would be nice if the AGW alarmists stopped the name calling.

Satellite measurements of the lower atmosphere temperature showed that there was a net temperature anomaly of zero between mid-1999 and mid 2008. I certainly can’t recall seeing that in the news.

You bring out the tired old myth that anyone who doesn’t accept the AGW doctrine must be in the pay of an oil company. How about Al Gore leaving politics with two million dollars and now being on the threshold of being the first ‘carbon billionaire”?

Finally, how about acknowledging the natural causes of observed warming, like the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.

Climate alarmists have the technique of telling half the story down to a fine art.
