EVEN THE MODERATE ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE DELUSIONAL:

An Incredibly Expensive Folly: Why Failure in Copenhagen Would Be a Success (Bjørn Lomborg, 12/07/09, Der Spiegel)

Over the past decade, a fierce argument has been waged between those who deny global warming's existence, and those who are deeply alarmed about its onset. The rhetoric from both sides has, at times, been overblown. Global warming is real and it is caused by humanity. That much has long been clear. But it is just as obvious that we have failed to embrace the policies that would best deal with this challenge.

The argument is more accurately described as being about whether the globe would achieve absolute climate stasis in the absence of humans. The Right, frequently characterized as anti-scientific, suggests that the evidence reveals it was not static prior to us. The Left, which needs to believe men to be gods, holds that climate change is a function of human action.
