The top seven global warming alarmist setbacks in 2013

*excerpt*
The Senate testimony of Dr. Roger Pielke of the University of Colorado completely undercut environmentalists and Democrats trying to claim that global warming was causing “extreme weather.”
“It is misleading and just plain incorrect to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate timescales either in the United States or globally,” Pielke said. “It is further incorrect to associate the increasing costs of disasters with the emission of greenhouse gases.”
The other witnesses on the panel did not refute Pielke’s data.

As has been seen time and time again, these 'extreme' sorts of terms, of which 'zealot' is one, have been used by the overwhelmingly leftest-sympathetic media to target those that are actually mainstream and down-to-earth, so the historical implication is that the non-lefty non-global-warming folk are again the target of imflammatory rhetoric.
My personal opinion (which never makes the main-stream-media) is that with all the inflammatory terms, and actual threats levied against those that are not in mind-numbed robotic lock-step with the global-warming cult - the real 'zealots' are all too obvious.
