 Arrogant Radial, loved your new intro paragraph to global warming. My only worry was that it might actually make the article readable and give some credibility to all the rubbish that is in the article which I know most people never bother to read as the first paragraph just puts them off. 

 There is a saying: "Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves", and that is precisely what was agreed by a group a while back with the article and it certainly has paid off handsomely. The article has all the realism of a burser on the Titanic discussing earnestly the order in which to put the silver cutlery whilst the bow of the boat is slowly dipping beneath the waves. 

 However, I noticed on quite a few other forums that the fire has completely gone out of the global warmers and the few remaining seem to spend their entire time denying the instrumental data indicating cooling this century, discussing papers that are over a decade old or postulating what might happen in a century of two long after anyone today is going to be around to mock them.
