The Environment Minister Sammy Wilson has angered green campaigners by describing their view on climate change as a "hysterical psuedo-religion".
2006 was a bad year for environmental activists and for climate scientists - though they think it was a good one, much like Sony probably thought a Blu-ray victory over HD-DVD was going to be a big win for them and didn't realize it ended up killing a market.
The fringe 'scientists' who went around comparing everyone who doubted the impact of C02 to 'Holocaust deniers' (insert your list of pseudo-science sites doing it here) did a lot more harm than good, for science as a neutral platform for data and for legitimate environmental concerns. Activists had an ethanol win in 2005 and a hyped movie in 2006. They (and science) would have been better off losing.
perhaps the mistake is that global warming is no pseudo anything perhaps it is very real perhaps some worship nature This seems reasonable
