All this is a great example of the "cry wolf" type effect. People are so used to be lied to by officials that even when faced with a ton of evidence, as long as anyone raises doubt they are willing to believe in said doubt.

Congratulations folks... the propaganda machine has finally won. All they have to do is raise a doubt and you ignore straight scientific proof. I wonder if a bunch of politicians decided to declare the earth was flat again how many people would say the scientists just want us to believe it's round.
No no. The propaganda machine is the one saying global warming is true. The one that helps perpetuate the grants that scientists get to "study" global warming. What happened to the impending ice age mark? You recall that from the late 70's? You know the reason that green peace was started in the first place? How bout soil erosion? How bout how deforestation is going to make us have to produce oxygen cause there will no longer be any trees.. Its a new horror every few years. Yawn. They put together some flashy graphics now everyone is sooo scared. Silly.
