The death of ManBearPig?

There's a great column in today's Telegraph which suggests that this year may actually be the "turning point in the great worldwide panic over man-made global warming."  One can hope...

Ever shriller and more frantic has become the insistence of the warmists, cheered on by their army of media groupies such as the BBC, that the last 10 years have been the "hottest in history" and that the North Pole would soon be ice-free – as the poles remain defiantly icebound and those polar bears fail to drown. All those hysterical predictions that we are seeing more droughts and hurricanes than ever before have infuriatingly failed to materialise.

Even the more cautious scientific acolytes of the official orthodoxy now admit that, thanks to "natural factors" such as ocean currents, temperatures have failed to rise as predicted (although they plaintively assure us that this cooling effect is merely "masking the underlying warming trend", and that the temperature rise will resume worse than ever by the middle of the next decade).

And that's the problem. This has become a cult, and its most devoted followers haven't just drunk the Kool-Aid, they're swimming in it.  Besides, there's still money to be made from the crisis.
