Ten conspiracy Theories...
http://www.newsweek.com/id/233518?GT1=43002

This one I liked though:

2. Anthropogenic global warming is a hoax. Proponents of the theory that the earth's temperature is rising-especially Al Gore and the United Nations-are trying to pull the wool over the world's eyes. Some believers say that warming is negligible in the scope of geological history, and many argue that even if warming is happening, it's not because of human activity. The goals of Gore and his ilk, they say, are to kill market competition, encourage socialist control, keep scientists' research coffers filled, and/or work to bring about a one-world government by giving the U.N. power to regulate the climate and by eroding national sovereignty.

Proponents: Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), rogue Canadian climate scientist Tim Ball, journalist and British aristocrat Lord Christopher Monckton, Sarah Palin, National Review.

Kernel of Truth? Deniers have long taken advantage of scientists' cautious statements, and "Climategate" breathed new life into the movement, but the science stands: warming is real, and it's caused by human actions.

So build a bridge and get over it, we're destroying our planet, stop evading the truth; suck it up,  buttercup.

All better now! :D
