> It just exposes their motivations: scientists are charlatans who don't understand anything when the climate scientists support AGW, but the data from the same scientists is heralded as the real truth when the deniers/skeptics think it supports their own beliefs.

I don’t think that is quite correct. Most ‘climate deniers’ I have spoken with don’t question the competence of scientists, they question their motives and suspect they are simply seeking funding, attention, or both.

motives are simple (for both sides):

  advocates = the planet is in peril
  deniers = fossil fuel companies are paying us (or, "I hate liberals")
