The failure of the green/left...

From this morning's NZ Herald editorial..."It must be galling to be green these days...clearly environmentalists have more work to do to convince governments and the public that climate change exceeds all other threats to their livlihoods and that the proposed solutions are worth the candle...
If governments are able to soft pedal on proposed solutions whenever their economies turn sour, the public will be left to wonder whether climate change is really to be taken seriously."


"...environmentalists have more work to do..."? ? I thought science was the driver of public policy in this issue ? No matter. The editorial above in a nutshell sounds the deathknell of AGW. As predicted green doomcasters will now have to summon up direr and more apocalyptic scenarios, compliant scientists will have to either acquiesce with more doom and gloom or cross the floor, and the climate better damn well start doing what the computer models say it should...
Better crank out another horror movie Al... Green scare tactics have been unsucessful. The greens have not won the battle for hearts and minds...
And, as an example of green stooges within the media overplaying their weak hand, check out this AP report and the scientific anger over it...H/T Crusader Rabbit...

Thanks for the mention, Ayrdale. :-)

It really does look like the wheels are falling off the greenie's lunch wagon doesn't it?
At not a moment too soon.

"and" that is, not "at"

Yep, it's getting harder and harder for them. Especially since 2008 has been widely tipped to be the coolest in this century. That and the fact that folks in North America are experiencing much colder weather than previously.

But even if the planet were actually warming, they still have to prove that it's us humans who are causing the problem.
