Like the raw data was pretty much hardly worth the trouble until *they* had a chance to work it into something valuable (which then, of course, made the raw data superfluous). Gives new meaning to the old saw about one man's trash being another man's treasure! <strong><em>Got yer back, my fellow Stosh!

I also remember one for meals on wheels that had a really old lady trying to open a can with a manual can opener and she couldn't and was so very distraught.

The thing that ticks me off most is how people, especially kids, have been manipulated into thinking that by their very presence they are killing the planet. Remember the famous crying Iron Eyes Cody public service announcement? I was just a kid but it worked and hey, we should all be good stewards of the earth. That was a legitimate message even if Iron Eyes' heritage wasn't quite what it seemed. Maybe I'm wrong...maybe carbon IS a poison and I am killing the earth by exhaling? I'd rather be fooled by a Faux Native for a real problem. That's better than Real Scientists lying to me over something that isn't a problem.

I remember hearing a lot of, "you just want to make us look bad" objections, which were part of the reason I became a confirmed AGW sceptic.
