I understood the argument, no problem.  Here it is again.

He's claiming that it's easy for people to see through the conspiracy theorist bullshit (the bible in his example) because anyone can and should read (the science) and are easily able to realize it's legitimate?

The Internet has leveled the playing field for science, so that I can read technical articles on climate change.  By contrast as late as the 1990s that required a visit to a university library, which most people didn't even know where or how to get to.  The pseudo scientific con games of global warming, invented by Al Gore et al in 1988, prior to these changes.

Sciency Priests, lol....

By the way the presentation of the "flat line RSS measurements" back to 1996 shows a very important fact.  That RSS temperature has not changed for a statistically significant period of time means that alarmist calculations of "Climate sensitivity" are proven wrong.  In plain terms, natural variability plays a greater role than man's contribution.

Subtle point, but important.
