Scientist says not all men are rational

Well not in so many words. But see what Dr Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography has to say while reporting that global warming is real:
'The debate over whether or not there is a global warming signal is now over, at least for rational people.'' (Italics mine)
Who dare disagree when the theory of evolution can be considered only as valid as creationism, and - closer home - astrology considered fit to be taught in universities, and politicians carry magnetic compasses to determine where to sit while submitting election forms.

But is it desparation or hopelessness that jumps out in that statement? Or resignation?
