The handbook covering how to deal with anthropological global warming fanatics is titled much more delicately than the title of the post, but I prefer to be straightforward. The guide is relatively short and worth reading.
The Skeptics Handbook was written by Joanne Nova, who has 15 years of experience in explaining science as a professional. She cuts through the distractions that global warming fans try to use and forces them to deal with the science rather than the politics and emotions.
Here are excerpts:
Science is not a democracy, and natural laws don’t form because a UN committee decreed it.Rise above the mudslinging in the Global Warming debate. Here are the strategies and tools you need to cut through the red-herrings, and avoid the traps.
There’s a point about cost-benefit here. How many people are we willing to starve in order to protect us from the unproven threat of CO2?
Consensus proves nothing. It only takes one scientist to prove a theory wrong.
Theories fit the facts or they don't. Instead of saying
"Which side has more PhD's?” a better question is "Where's the evidence?".Ask questions
Non believers don’t have to prove anything. Skeptics are not asking the world for money or power. Believers need to explain their case, so let them do the talking. As long as the question you asked doesn’t get resolved, repeat it.
It’s entirely reasonable to ask for evidence. If you are met with dismissive, intimidatory, or bullying behavior, don’t ignore it. Ask them why they’re not willing to explain their case. In scientific discussions, no theory is sacrosant. Taboos belong in religions.
Who would ever think that people supporting man-caused global (mainly liberals) would act ugly, curse you, or call you names? Why, the author must have anticipated everything!

I don't know Woody? Beacuse you are an idiot? That's what Dr. House would say. I see you and your ilk circling the drain. Problem is, ignorance is genetic.
Hey! We'll just herd you all into pens like cattle and feed you ergot-laced water from troths. It may work.

I attended an American Meteorological Society chapter meeting last night, and the Anthropogenic Climate Change subject, as usual, came up. Lots of skepticism among the scientists present - as usual.
BTW, a great blog on this subject is Climate Skeptic.

Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona. A deal on a secluded, 8,000-square-foot home in far north Scottsdale was recently closed by Safari Investments LLC for $1.695 million cash. The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment." According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought fleece blankets a house in Maricopa. Palin has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jon Kyl.
