With a (very small) hat tip to that cute little GEICO gecko, here’s a possible real-life conversation...

The Scene:  Curious reader pondering headline in local paper.

“Huh...   97% of Homeopathic doctors believe homeopathic medicine works?”

     “Yeah, everybody knows that.”

“Well, did you know that left-wing ideologues make lousy climate forecasters?”

     “What?”

“Sure, scientists saturated with a progressive education from grade school through graduate school have predicted for years that the global climate should now be a few fractions of a degree Celsius warmer.  Yet, the globe has not shown any statistically significant temperature rise for at least 15 years.”

Voice Over Announcer:  "A switch to real-world science, rather than that left-wing ideology stuff... 

could have saved you 15 years or more on hysterical global-warming assurance."
