The one thing I can do is offer an ordinary citizen's informed view of what the barrier is preventing skeptics' viewpoints from being heard, and how that barrier can turn from the paper-thin success story it is into a cancer that has the potential to wipe out the entire ideology of AGW.

When the public learns about huge faults in the skeptic scientist accusation, combined with the faults in the IPCC, the result may send AGW into total collapse.
I'm preaching to the choir here when I say appearances of people hiding AGW's problems beg for clichés - the emperor has no clothes, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, nothing to see here, move along. But I'm not a scientist, nor do I have a scintilla of expertise to say with any authority that the IPCC is wrong and skeptic scientists are right.

Two days prior, a UK judge ruled there were nine errors in the movie and it could only be shown in UK schools "with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination". Yet, I defy anybody to locate a solitary mention of this in any NewsHour broadcast.
