Guardian environment editor John Vidal gives the DenierChaps convening in Copenhagen the kind of attention they deserve in his piece today.

He had the temerity to stand up in the room and ask:

"I would like to know whether you or anyone in this room has been to the Himalayas, or to the Sunderbans, or to the villages that are now drowning near Chittagong in Bangladesh, where temperatures are being recorded 4C above normal, where respected scientists are finding significant sea level rises, where cyclones are more frequent and intense? Have any of you tried to find out for yourself what is going on there?"

Through the whistling and abuse that followed, you could only conclude that the answer was no.

Climate change spin-doctor Tom Harris has a web poll up on his super-duper denialfest website today, asking people to vote on "How likely is it that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are causing a climate crisis?"

Any guesses what kind of response you get to such a question posted on a website devoted to denying the realities of human-caused global warming?

The problem though with web polls is that they are very, very easy to game.

In multi-part complaint about fairness at the CBC, Tim Ball and Tom Harris have inadvertently provided the response that they received when they took their complaint directly to the national broadcaster.

The CBC, in its decision making process, is entitled to make its own editorial determination about what opinions are in the mainstream, and need to be reflected, and what opinions are on the margins, and can be given the editorial hook they so often deserve…"

'Nuff said.

The Natural Resources Stewardship Project condemned Prime Minister Stephen Harper today for Canada's "total capitulation to climate change dogma." In doing so, Canada's leading group of climate quibblers appears to be separating itself from the last of its potential climate allies.
