It is rather futile to waste time trying to argue with those who spread the bogus arguments against climate change. They have already made up their minds based upon beliefs which have nothing to do with the scientific evidence. For those who are interested, a couple of good articles have come out this week. Scientific American provides Seven Answers to Climate Contrarian Nonsense.
I have already linked to articles which debunk the claims that the recent hacked emails alter the overall science supporting climate change. Popular Mechanics has another good discussion of the issue. Note that the key question is not whether some of the scientists might have acted improperly (and possibly illegally) but whether this affects the overall scientific evidence.
