Good review by by Rod McLaughlin

Extensive background on Eco-Fascist Craig Rosebraugh.

There is a new film out, a purported documentary on the environment, called “Greedy Lying Bastards.” Surprisingly, it isn’t about Al Gore. Nor is it about “green energy” executives who parlay connections with the Obama administration into millions of dollars, leaving taxpayers with the tab. And scientists who collect billions in government subsidies while fudging data to make a bogus case for more government power–what a coincidence!–don’t figure in it, either.

No, “Greedy Lying Bastards” is yet another attack on “climate change deniers.” Of course, there isn’t actually any such thing as deniers of climate change: everyone knows that the Earth’s climate has always changed, and always will change until the end of time. The question is whether there is anything that humans have done, or can do, to significantly influence the climate; the answer, I think it is clear, is no.

I wonder which oil mogul paid Mr. McLaughlin to write this nonsense.

"I wondered whether he’d consider if these vices occur among the promoters of climate change “theory”. He did not.

Of course he did not, because that claim is absolutely ridiculous. This is the right-wing misinformation machine's strategy, muddy the waters by accusing the other side of doing exactly what they do. It really is a great distraction and it seems to work on people who have not seen the overwhelming scientific data proving man-made climate change is real. But those of us who have actually read the research, instead of reading what some paid shill wrote about said research, know what's really going on. Real scientists care about the future of our planet, and they get paid a fraction of what the oil company funded "scientists" make. If they really cared more about the money, they'd throw out all their research, become a denier and cash in a fat check from Charles Koch.

Read the comments. The "peer reviewed" Marcott paper with new hockey shtick was shown to be junk science by Steve McIntyre at climateaudit.org

Peter Foster: Inglorious ­Warmists http://opinion.financialpost.com/2013/03/19/peter-foster-inglorious-%C 2%ADwarmists/

What this tedious film, and its hysterical title, confirm is the frustration from the left that their climate crusade — which was always rooted in hatred and demonization of industrial society — has inevitably crashed. That frustration is also evident in the frenetic campaign against the Keystone XL pipeline.

The movie may break some sort of record for one-sidedness (although its dweebie creator, Craig Scott Rosebraugh, gives us plenty of opportunity to see him phoning for interviews — Michael Moore-style — with the Koch brothers and Exxon’s head, Rex Tillerson).

The movie’s case for the “settled” science is presented by Kevin Trenberth and Michael Mann, prominent figures both in the warmist community and in the Climategate email scandal, which is ritually dismissed as out-of-context “cherrypicking.” You know, cherrypicking the embarrassing bits about lying, cheating and suppressing or destroying inconvenient communications.
