Yes, I'm glad that Trevor is a best answerer in this section.
I assume you're referring to Jello, who's the top answerer (and a 'best' answerer, though that's obviously a misnomer). I think it's unfortunate that he's been able to cheat the voting system to make it appear as though he has some credibility when clearly that's not the case. However, if you and other deniers really want to make Jello your representative answerer, I'm all for that.
Personally if I were you, I'd choose a representative who can at least differentiate between weather and climate, or the lower 48 United States and the world. Maybe that's not the case for the average global warming denier though. Considering the amateurish arguments made by global warming skeptics and deniers

perhaps Jello is an appropriate representative of your group. His most recent question is "Will 2007 be the coldest year since 1970?". I'm sure that as always he's only looking at temperature data for the United States, because on a global level, 2007 is probably going to be the 3rd-warmest year on record and there is zero chance it will be anywhere near as cold as 1970, as you can see here:

In fact, 2007 will be more than a half-degree Celsius warmer than 1970! You really honestly think a guy who asks this question knows what he's talking about? LOL!

Not always the one who knows the most but does the most talking and sounds convincing - i am glad that there are answers and some are better than others - the fact that either one person who is not knowlegable (because they asked the question) or a group of people (who may or may not know) choose the "best" answer makes this a dubious label, at best.

No, I don't know about "best", but the way he throws out oil industry propaganda (without offering links to the easily discreditable sources) he may be the highest paid answerer in the category!
Repeatedly (and intentionally?) confusing local weather for climate...
Name-calling (Nazis), then complaining about name-calling...
Making irrelevant, ranting spam reponses that have nothing to do with the question...
Never a dull moment!

I don't mind that Dr. Jello is the Top Answerer in this section, but he certainly doesn't know what he's talking about. No so far as climate change goes, at any rate.

There is something fishy about that Bob dude. If it is getting warmer, why is he wearing a tuque??
Not only that, he's wearing it INSIDE the house! C'mon Bob, pay that power bill. The utility companies aren't all that evil.

I think Jello's basically a nice guy, but to think he knows what he's talking about re global warming is silly. He pays absolutely no attention to science.

I know what I'm talking about when I say... this question is silly.

It sure beats someone who just thinks they know what they are talking about
