All the climate hysterics here are self-confessed muggles in the field of climate science and yet they forever run around telling everybody who is and who is not a credible climate expert in the field and when we ask them how it’s done, we get no rational answer but talk of prestige.
prestige (n.) Look up prestige at Dictionary.com 1650s, "trick," from French prestige (16c.) "deceit, imposture, illusion" (in Modern French, "illusion, magic, glamour"), from Latin praestigium "delusion, illusion" (see prestigious). Derogatory until 19c.; sense of "dazzling influence" first applied 1815, to Napoleon. 
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The weak scientific case, that links global warming and other planetary maladies to increases in carbon dioxide levels, is so weak that there is far more convincing evidence for the Gods.

I'd bet that if an honest scientist became president you'd be paying no carbon tax.

When you think of Egypt as a desert, then we will know the Nile floods.
So it is written so let it be done.

Can't argue with that.
