MoJo Blog reports on the background of the latest anti-global warming screed. The original article by George Monbiot appeared in the Guardian May 10. Here is the conclusion:
"So there you have it –
1) a 16 year old article that was never written,
2) fraudulently cited by a climate skeptic,
3) re-printed in a publication owned by Lyndon Larouche which was
4) cited by a former architect, and
5) finally misrepresented by a credible scientist.
One can only wonder what Bellamy was thinking."

Frankly, this proves there is no real argument against global warming. If there were any argument against global warming, this piece of garbage would never be mentioned. As it is, it really should be discussed in the next professional review or salary review on David Bellamy (See item 5 above.) I'm sure he hopes it won't come up.
The anti-global warming crew belong to a long line if truth-deniers including Holocaust Deniers and the "anti-floride in the water supply" bunch that I remember from the 1950's. They also resemble the current Income Tax Deniers who claim that either the XVI Amendment was not ratified, or that an obscure section of the IRS tax regulations (Section 861) override the law and somehow makes income earned within the United States not eligible for the income tax. Several hundred tax deniers have taken the 861 argument to court and have lost every single time due to the fact (ask them) that they didn't apply the 861 argument properly, the tax courts are not legal courts, or that the judges and the IRS are conspiring to commit fraud on the American tax-paying public and have been successfully doing so since at least as far back and the 1950's.
This isn't science. This is politics, trying to overturn real science. It is also a sample of abnormal psychology at work.
