Thank you for your interest in this topic, yes I'm the poster from the libertygibbert site - the 'warmist' -grin-
A bit of clarification may be in order, it involves some history...
Most of the posters there are refugees from the UK Daily Telegraph comments section - a 'hotbed' of AGW theory rejectionists....
We left when the paper changed the software into something barely adequate for a chat-room, and hopeless for 'serious' discussion...
At the DT there was a prolific poster who regaled us all with a byzantine conspiracy theory involving the Bullingdon club, David Cameron and the BBC. It involved secret killings of the rich and powerful by lesbians.
Yes I KNOW this sounds bizarre, and I don't THINK anybody took it seriously except the poster who dumped megs of this stuff all through the threads, but the result is that the lesbian assassins became a bit of a running joke on the blog.
Of course HOW you 'run' with that joke is a matter of taste, and the poster with the guest thread at libertygibbert is not to my taste....
Hope that background helps!

—Alorael, who also found the postmodernist angle odd. While he'll admit that he finds postmodernism to be the last refuge of many literary scoundrels, it's not usually used in debates about science. Not even to tar and feather opponents. Points for creativity?
Its a reference, and possibly justifiable attack on Michael Hulme, the founding director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the eye of the storm about the climategate emails.
He has said some odd things about AGW like-
“The idea of climate change should be seen as an intellectual resource around which our collective and personal identities and projects can form and take shape. We need to ask not what we can do for climate change, but to ask what climate change can do for us.”
