Assuming I take this name at face value (whomever he is), at most he fits one or two of your designated categories. You still haven't come up with anyone or any organization that fits your five categories. Are you "straw-manning" your own arguments? If not, provide something that stacks up to Scientific American and other organizations. Now this doesn't doesn't make global warming a fact, but at least provide some sort of argument that is based in, oh, say, reality. These unfocused, righteous arguments without any basis in fact (I'm trying Larry, give me a fact I can work with), well, it's the same righteous indignation used for arguing the earth is flat, intelligent design, race separation, domino theory of communism, WMD's in Iraq or if you want very current events, how about Robert Murray and the Utah mining disaster? Come on Larry, give me something...
