Speaking of repeating talking points...
Muller himself stated he was never a skeptic - he just criticized the shoddy science of the global warming advocates. His BEST project confirmed to him his previous belief in anthropogenic global warming.
"I was never a skeptic -- only a scientific skeptic," he said in a recent email exchange with The Huffington Post. "Some people called me a skeptic because in my best-seller 'Physics for Future Presidents' I had drawn attention to the numerous scientific errors in the movie 'An Inconvenient Truth.' But I never felt that pointing out mistakes qualified me to be called a climate skeptic." [Huffington Post - not a scientific source, but probably reasonable to accept quoting a person about himself. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blackberry/p.html?id=1072419 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blackberry/p.html?id=1072419]
