To viewers of last night's edition of CBC-TV's The Fifth Estate, a "documentary" titled The Denial Machine, the name James Hoggan will be familiar. Mr. Hoggan is the talking head who loomed late in the program to issue lofty pronouncements on the science of climate change. His main role, though, was to provide a Canadian link in the program's grand conspiracy theory about scientists who are skeptical of global warming. For non-viewers of last night's presentation, here's a hint of the show's theme: Exxon did it.

Well, at least you didn't try to pass it off as yours this time, but posting articles in their entirety is still verboten. A link and a quote will suffice.

As for the articles, well, here's a totally unqualified newspaper hack making disparaging comments about small-town PR guy he says is unqualified while he lectures the rest of us on the science. That takes some gall.

Can't you be banned for using a full newspaper article?

I rarely read links. I think it is up to posters to precis their arguments and provide links as backup. Otherwise we just have a lot of posts with links and no indication that the posters have absorbed the content.

This is supposed to be a debate, not a food fight.
