Wow, is that a dumb idea. This might be a good time to re-read hurricane expert Chris Landsea&#x27;s 2005 resignation letter from the IPCC:<p><a href="http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/science_policy_general/000318chris_landsea_leaves.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cstpr.colorado.edu&#x2F;prometheus&#x2F;archives&#x2F;science_policy...</a><p>Quote: &quot;It is beyond me why my colleagues would utilize the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming.&quot;

Without getting into the dogma of this discussion is this going to change the minds of these people? I could see this becoming a &quot;badge&quot; of sorts for the deniers.

Oh yeah, attacking the disbelievers for their blasphemy in the name of Science is a great idea.

I don&#x27;t think so.
