Allowing myself to be involved just at the periphery of this, because it's three days on and I cannot stop thinking about this one matter:

Phil Plait is like the A-Number-One Super Shamer when it comes to anthropomorphic global warming. He loves it, he's all over it.

So what Plait is now anxious about is that the rhetoric he loves so well on his favorite topic is now being co-opted -- for example the word "deniers" is now being applied to anti-vaxers.

I'm in agreement with him on the science and the skepticism. But he's a hypocrite, and part of the problem.
