Yeah, that's the fallacy of poisoning the well, where you attempt to impugn a source to avoid having to refute the actual substance of the data. It's a fallacy in lieu of actual argument, and no argument requires no refute. I don't give a shit what you think of the source. Speak to the data offered or be shown to be dodging it. If you bothered, you'd know that the ultimate source of that data is the IRS and other legit statistics. So good luck finding refuting data...but I think you're far too lazy to even look.
Skepticism of sudden catastrophic climate change is called the "null hypothesis" in science. It is the default position until evidence to the contrary can be demonstrated...and not merely with computer models. Got any demonstrable evidence? No? Didn't think so. That's why you have to resort to bigoted and ad hominem stereotyping. Resorting to that demonstrates that even you know that you've already lost.
