</html><description>Here is Dana Milbank of WaPo celebrating the "retreat" of climate change deniers, "There is no denying it: Climate-change deniers are in retreat." He concludes his op-ed piece by noting, "that corporations are becoming reluctant to bankroll crazy theories, the surrender of climate-change deniers will follow." For Milbank this marks the historic turning point marking the collapse of flat-earth science "crazies." The AGW (anthropogenic (man-made) global warming) thesis was initiated by the United Nations environmental program that was established in 1972 and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established in 1988. It got its biggest boost with the now discredited hockey stick model advanced by Michael Mann in 1999 and now has a distinctly religious fervor led by Al Gore and his acolytes including world leaders from English PM David Cameron to President Obama.</description><thumbnail_url>https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics6_protesting.jpg</thumbnail_url></oembed>
