"Make An Argument You Can Get Killed On, And You Will Kill Us All"
My post title is a quote from global warming denier Pat Michaels (beneficiary of Cato Institute funding) who is in the 2008 video below. Though he is a global warming denier, he is explaining to his audience, that the Earth is actually warming.
His point, is that arguing that the Earth isn't warming, is an "argument you can get killed on". He is encouraging his audience to take more deceptive means to stall any sort of legislative action on global warming.
His audience? The global warming deniers at Heartland Institute.

Where Have All The SORRY DeNiArs Gone?
The DeNiAr group called SARI, which I refer to as SORRY, seems to have lost most of their membership based on their website listing (I'm intentionally withholding a link). They may just be re-organizing into Members and Associate Members, I don't know.
Where have all the DeNiArs gone? Sing along!

I Agree With Mark Kermode
I don't even know who he is, but he has reviewed the documentary, "Merchants of Doubt" and he finds the subject enraging. As do I:

How DeNiArs Are Like Creationists
DeNiArs (health physics deniers who don't think low dose radiation can cause cancer) are like Creationists (biology deniers who don't accept species evolution) in many ways. See right hand side of this page for "Comparing the Creationist and Hormesis Cults".
