Telegraph blogger being particularly absurd

Here's a Telegraph blog entry on the whole Climategate (the publishing of some stolen emails and other documents on climate change, which can be interpreted as implying a conspiracy if taken out of context) thing. A wonderful, wonderful, very special quote from the article:

Here’s a blog entry by Robin Horbury from Biased BBC. Most believers in AGW (who I accept include the majority of scientists in this field) acknowledge the significance of the Climategate scandal, breaking as it has on the eve of the Copenhagen summit.


Emphasis mine. ('AGW' is an acronym, generally used by climate changed deniers, for Anthropogenic Global Warming).

So these people acknowledge that actual scientists generally accept human-influenced global warming! Grudgingly, but still. So what's their excuse now? "Oh, well, real scientists accept it, but it confuses people who write angry notes in BBC Have Your Say, so it must be part of an evil conspiracy!"?
