I kind of expect the European schadenfreude. That's fine. Everyone needs a hobby.

I am awaiting my American brethren to awaken and show some of that terrible resolve Isoroku Yamamoto spoke of.

Take the noose off of your neck.

Please do not wreck the Olympics for our athletes.

If I could, I would wreck it with a sledge hammer.

Why assign insulting tags to those who are willing to look beyond orthodoxy?

Because there is no "orthodoxy" in this context. The use of religion as a metaphor is spurious and insulting on many levels. It's used as a disingenuous tool to bait and harass those that have accepted the work of IPCC as scientific fact rather than engage in a genuine critique of the evidence.
