Being blunt won't be inviting to them and they'll leave while we stew around waiting for something interesting to crop up.
I gain ideas to actively lobby with from this forum, and to enhance my knowledge. I am amazed that people can broach a subject outside cyberspace (in real life) and I can now run rings around their knowledge easily when they are highly educated people. So we have to consider this site as a tool as well and try to keep active all discusions as much as possible.

problem with climate analysis is that it crosses so many disciplines, no one can be an expert on all of it. It's got so much pizzaz (and big bucks for research) every cockroach hunter thinks they can become a celeb by pushing the latest proof of pending catastrophe by analyzing the counts of cockroaches around the year. For algor and crew, it's big bucks to sell fear and fraudulent carbon credits, the indulgences of the 'faith'.
It almost seems like the whole eco world has been funded covertly by industries that stand to benefit from the demise of other ones who are the recipients of the ecowhackos assaults. Actually, Cato Inst. once showed where the dupont crowd had funded some of the ecowhackos in their assault on freon - shortly before the patent was to expire and the replacement goo was inferior, corrosive, more expensive and cacenogenic. It paid off big for them when freon12 was banned in the first world.
It's beginning to look as if that was the tip of an iceberg. You'll note the expectations of the rise of american nuclear industry now - stunted by decades of ecowhacko assaults that benefitted the coal and natural gas industries. Now it would appear that maybe the nuke industry has decided to declare war on the carbon energy industry - voila AGW and it's working.
Universities are setting up to turn out nuke power engineers at the graduate level. nuke power plants are being considered for production - etc etc etc.
The foolish assumptions of these junior g-men spouting their religious creed of AGW that their opponents are are merely ignorant of the facts and the incessant political attacks on opponents has perhaps started to be noticed by those with casual interest. Those little 12 yr old brownshirts with the party line tend to lose their 'cuteness' very quickly for most people and the failures of the radical claims blaming everything on AGW - like how the frequency and intensity of hurricanes will increase - along with the claim every hurricane including katrina and rita is now caused by AGW have hit the wall with a quiet season or two as the long term cycle meanders through its usual multidecadal course.
As for me, I don't get much time these days to drop by.
