{They} have taken a real phenomenon and turned nearly everyone “participating in the debate” on climate change into a useful idiot who would sooner drown in the rising tides than admit anything “the other side” says has merit.

He also wrote "state of fear" which is an awesome thriller/AGW takedown combo.
