Oh, I don't know about censoring it. With the right laugh track, it might
be a campy hit. In five years, it'll be a big joke, and no one will admit
ever believing it, just like the now denied global cooling fiasco.

The laugh track idea is brilliant.

Plus some heckling from the audience too. It could be a real hit.

Or systemic bias even ?

Informed debate. Your former MP for St. Albans seems to be as ill-
informed as you are, and the Speaker of the House does seem to be
better-informed (which wouldn't be difficult).

He knows even less about science than Eeyore, which leaves him equally
free to see fraud in arguments he too can't follow.

You set your sight too low. If you keep on denying anthropogenic
global warming for long enough, and you will kill off billions.

> Don't forget the world's COOLING btw !

Eeyore's grasp of the science involved is rather too feeble to allow
him to undertand that anthropogenic global warming is a relatively
slow trend superimposed on a fairly large natural variation. The
current short term trend is indeed downwards, as has happened
frequently over the last century or so, but the over-riding long term
warming trend seems very likely to persist as long as atmospheric
carbon dioxide levels keep on rising

Eeyore seems to lack the background knowledge to appreciate the -
tolerably indirect - connection between these two pieces of
information, but better-informed commentators find it more persuasive.

When Graham is restored to his senses - if this ever happens - he will
presumably want the entire board of Exxon-Mobil burnt at the stake,
along with the staff of the psuedo-science institutes that Exxon-Mobil
has funded to mislead ill-informed nitwits like him.
