Why Are Global Warming Defenders Comparing Their Doubters to Moon Landing Skeptics?

The “Church of Global Warming” scientists and their sheep have had to defend themselves publicly after thousands of hacked e-mails revealed that the world's leading climate scientists were working in tandem to block freedom of information requests, blackball dissenting scientists, manipulate the peer-review process, and obscure, destroy or massage inconvenient temperature data.

While watching one of these “guardians” of ClimateGate defend their scientific “truths”, he compared global warming doubters to those who doubt that the US ever landed men on the moon. Later, I saw another “guardian” use the same comparison.

This made me wonder if a bunch of these debunkers got together and chose the “moon landing” conspiracy theory over a list of other notable conspiracies.

They may have made a greater impact on their audience if they compared these skeptics to Holocaust deniers, for example. However, did they consider using this and then discarded it as it may inflame and adversely impact the donations these scientists get from the Israeli Lobby, one of the largest lobby groups in Washington, DC?

Did they then consider comparing them to skeptics who don’t believe Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of JFK? Here they may have hurt their cause further as most Americans don’t believe the official government story.

How about those who believe that 9/11 was an inside job, the 9/11 Truthers? Here they may be adding fuel to the fire and upset thousands of 9/11 families plus possibly encourage a review of the largest crime in the 21st century that was never investigated.

Comparing the skeptics to those who believe that AIDS was created in a lab and deliberately used to infect gays and African blacks, would probably be confusing and also would bring up “bad” science, like global warming.

So, they chose the moon landing.

Now, lets hope that someone doesn’t leave a deathbed confession, like G. Gordon Liddy did about the JFK assassination, about the moon landing actually taking place in Arizona.
