Perfectly rational? It's absurd.

To believe it, you have to believe that virtually every practicing
geo-scientist in the world is cooking the books, and that their professional
organizations and NOAA, the NRC, the USGS and NASA are covering it up. In
short, you have to believe in a conspiracy that dwarfs anything the 9/11
nuts have dreamed up.

Hell, man, even Newt Gingrich admits it's game over. Time to move on.
