"Alarmism has peaked," Bast crowed to TAS, as a never-ending stream of ecstatic well-wishers filed by to congratulate him on a shockingly successful, sold-out conference. "Left-wing environmentalists have had a huge funding advantage and unfettered access to and uncritical support from the mainstream media for years now. What do they have to show for it? More than half of Americans still doubt man-made global warming is a crisis. If they couldn't get it under these circumstances, they can't get to 50 percent. The tide is turning."

Surrounded by more than 500 skeptics in a space where alarmist bogeymen such as outspoken former Margaret Thatcher advisor Lord Christopher Monckton, star of his own documentary response to what he dubs "Al Gore's sci-fi horror comedy movie" Apocalypse? No!, and Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years author S. Fred Singer were fairly gushed over, Bast's prediction was easy to believe. At the very least these were people unafraid of intellectual combat. The goodie bags at registration contained a copy of Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, for example, to allow attendees to familiarize themselves with the other side's arguments before viewing the accompanying DVD The Great Global Warming Swindle. Try to imagine Al Gore encouraging the same level of rigorous pro- and con- study at one of his lectures. It's unthinkable.
