Climate debate - skeptics are winning (the data say so)
Seems to me that's been the big problem in this "debate". The biggest AGW scare-mongers all have huge vested interests pushing the scare - governments (power+taxes), environmentalists (power+money+killing the economy)and the MSM (headlines+lefty causes).
What skeptics have in their favour is the facts (the truth).
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis

Agreed and now if we can only get our politicians to admit to the same instead of milking the hoax for all it is worth.
