Ultimately, I read this data as saying that Americans have a big problem with conspiracy theories entering our political discourse. We should be embarrassed that as many as 37% of us believe that global warming is a “hoax”. That requires a belief is a grand conspiracy of scientists, policy-makers, journals, editors, etc., all acting together to somehow fabricate data for a single objective – often described as world-government control conspiracy to cede our sovereignty to the UN. Somehow, every single national scientific body, all those national academies, all those journals, and all those scientists, all those governments, all working in perfect secrecy according to some master plan (which I’m often accused of being a part of but I’m sure I’m missing the memo), and this is plausible how? The answer is, it’s not, unless you remain steadfastly ignorant of how science actually works and progresses.

That thing from Taipai Times? It says "editorial" real big on top. And of the people listed only one could be understood to be an expert in the field, if you conflate atmospheric science with climate science.
I didn't see any other links besides that one. Correct me if I am mistaken.
See sig.
Why even attempt to debate someone who is incapable of legitimate debate?
