The _Telegraph’s_ use of the word “warmists” in its headline makes the paper’s credibility in this field suspect all by itself. IME, that word is never used save as a snarl-word by AGW-deniers. ---

Oh, you’d like that, wouldn’t you?! I see through your ploy, you want us planet saviors to adopt something warm, fuzzy, and vaguely gay! Ha! Forget it, pal, the warming wombats aren’t stuped! ---

Why are we bothering? This story is clearly buased bullshit. Look at the very first paragraph: > [@](#): > > Top of the agenda at a meeting of the Polar Bear Specialist Group (set up under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission) will be the need to produce a suitably scary report on how polar bears are being threatened with extinction by man-made global warming. We all know the chief job of scientific committees is to kill us all, not simply scare us. ---
