I think that is their last position they will take.......that somehow a warmer earth, and an earth with more CO2 than we have is a good thing.
Think about all the "fails" that Anthony Putz (Watts) and his ilk have gone through: (1) the earth is cooling (it's not), (2) the Greenland ice sheet is growing (it's not), (3) the Antarctic ice sheet is growing (it's not), (4) in 2010....the Arctic ice sheet is recovering (it's not), (5) CO2 doesn't affect warming of the atmosphere (it does)........even lame Joe Bastardi has lowered himself to using photoshop to lying about climate change.
When they have lied and mislead to their hearts content.....supported by the fossil fuel companies.....the last line of defense has to be: Ice is bad.....warmer is better....the more CO2 the merrier. That is all that is left to them......because facts, science, and truth are all working against them...
