Hmm. Despite my using a pejorative phrase for the people who don't accept global warming and calling it a "foot-stamping rejection of problems", you appear to think I am a global warming denialist.
I don't think the "stupidity" here is mine, and I am gratified to avoid your up-vote.
As for the global warming example, everyone, especially those interested in OB or LW, should read The Deniers (http://www.amazon.com/Deniers-Renowned-Scientists-Political-...). The author still believes in agw even after assembling all the evidence in the book. Every one of the experts still accepts global warming, they apparently believe that only the information they are personally and professionally acquainted with was misused by the zealots and everything else was accurately reported by the media.
