I understand your point. I did not mean to create a straw man. I read your last line as indicating that highly disreputable people (Griffin, IsloFundies) are on board with AGW skepticism/denial and that this tarnishes that cause.

I just didn’t like the association, any more than the counter-argument about Mugabe and Chavez that I mentioned. Perhaps others are making it more ridiculously (ie “AGW promoters love Mugabe LOL!!!!1!”). They probably are.

I suppose I am growing frustrated with the vitriol on all sides at the moment. I would not presume to put words in your mouth and apologize if I did so. I still do not love the last line of the post and felt I should say so.

All the best.
