Lucia sums up the preparations as:
It’s happy hour. I say pour yourself a beer and toast St. Barbara as you admire this most recent barrage of artillery launched by MT, the climate communications cannoneer that just can’t stop launching bombs!
Here is her post link below, bringing it all to attention. Caution, f-word rich environment.
This might be the moment, Earth Day, April 22nd, 2011 when it was conclusively demonstrated by one very angry man, that climate alarmists have lost their argument when one of their team members resorted to this sort of tirade when Steven Mosher drove him off the edge. See:

UPDATE: Apparently I missed out in search rankings by not quoting Lucia’s phrase ““pusillanimous chickenshit”. So there it is. I don’t think it will matter much, because I also have another unique searchable term: “f-word fusillade”

But as we’ve suspected, Google has a bias against WUWT, and we don’t show up in that search, but other linkers and aggregators do.

I simply can’t imagine what effort it takes to sustain so much anger for so long. And these people are incredibly angry.
Can’t help but wonder why?
Michael Tobis appears to be the classic “noble cause” activist. I would compare this to an anti-abortion activist (without making a judgement about the rightness of that position) who really believes that abortion is the murder of an innocent human being. Practically anything becomes justified by the noble cause. If you really believe that a global emergency exists with respect to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, then the debate is over for you, and action is called for. Moderation, exploration of alternative theories, the scientific process itself, all become dangerous distractions. It is an intellectual one-way trip. Nothing can unwind it.
There are truly noble causes in the world, and I think each of us subscribe to a few, to some degree. It might be simply the raising of a safe and thriving family. It might be providing safe drinking water to a community. Someone who we see as a direct and immediate threat to our noble causes would be lucky to escape with just a few f-bombs.
That last post went wrong due to my mistake with the href tag. After the first paragraph it should have said:
… It is an intellectual one-way trip. Nothing can unwind it. Witness the autism/vaccination fraud Dr. Andrew Wakefield and the true believers he retains.”
