Consistent is the least common trait you will find among the anti-science commentators concerning anthropogenic climate change. There isn't a single regular here who doesn't contradict himself (women are a tiny minority; someone should ask why that is). The Holy Grail of the Anti-Science blogs, Wattsupwiththat, is a witches brew that needs constant stirring to keep its antagonistic individual ingredients (eye of arrogant gore-ing Newt, claw of Sun bat, toe of Cooling frog, etc.) from interacting and blowing the thing up. The whole denial shell game rests on an indispensable foundation of shifting to the next deceit, as soon as the current one is exposed, cycling through the grab bag composed by the hired hacks and pseudo scientists of fossil fuel industry front group think tanks such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._M... already 15+ years ago. The now extensive catalog of contradictions is well known: http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument... Real science continually updates itself, discarding obsolete elements. Anti-science just accumulates more and more to reshuffle. It is as if a chemistry course went from organic compounds one week, stressing the CIA's role in creating them, to alchemy the next, then to crystal power, and then to the "chemical makeup of moon rocks: are they real?"

I actually know of only one consistent theory "explaining" why AGW is a hoax. Whether this theory is "insane" or "dishonest" or "pathological" is immaterial, because there is such a dearth of competition to it.

In essence, it amounts to:

1) Our world is controlled by outer space aliens possessing powers that are beyond human comprehension.

2) These god-like extraterrestrials are not like the gods of organized religions, though. They do not want to be feared, or loved, or worshipped, or even named. They offer no precepts; they have few genuine followers.

3) Instead, they rule by stealth, giving hints in the form of protocols and declarations, and cryptic logos, that only a few wise (often persecuted) Yahoo Answers Community Members can decipher and interpret.

4) Although they tap laws of physics that are beyond us, and can for example, inhabit a hollow moon, project holographic power from it, and travel through time, they rarely make use of such extraordinary power.

5) Because, their overriding desire is to rule us through a combination of infiltration and delusion. Their agents, the Rockoschildobabylonian Brotherhood, have been all over history. Most movers and shakers have been either part of this infiltrating group of "Illuminati," or in league with them, or manipulated by them.

6) Nearly all the systems of thought, logic, knowledge and belief, that we mere mortals adhere to, are actually controlled, twisted, or even created by the aliens (whose only known physicality is their reptilian features): religion, morality, rational thinking, and of course, science.

7) Climate science is a perfect hoax for these aliens, because it concerns the whole world, it logically requires global action if its findings are to be taken seriously, and it is therefore an almost ideal means for the world domination which the Reptilian Aliens -for some strange reason that is also beyond mortal comprehension- prefer to perfect over millennia (rather than just showing up once and for all in Washington DC, Moscow, London, Berlin, Rio, and Beijing (or in Caesar's Rome for that matter), parallel parking their saucers, and saying "Take us to your leaders").
