Frank Bi has a wonderful petition over at the International Journal of Inactivism [1], calling for hacks like Christoper Walter (the lurid Viscount Monckton of Brenchley [2]) to find the courage of their alleged convictions and sue Al Gore and NASA's James Hansen for fomenting the global scientific "conspiracy" about climate change.

Really, if these guys had a shred of evidence - or dignity - they'd bring their vacuous argument before a judge and let the case be tested. I, personally, would love to see a jury trial - a serious opportunity to put the evidence before a dozen people who would test Hansen's science against Monckton's palaver.

Anyway, it's August and you're cruising the 'net instead of working: cruise on over to IJI and sign up. I'm confident these clowns won't sue, but baiting them is worth the effort.
