Nope. Nada. NOT.
Only rational enviromentalists please. i.e. Only those that adhere to dogma!

Lanny was not engaging in ad hominem; he was calling the guy a liar, because in the past he has lied on many occasions. Saying he takes funding from Oil companies is not ad hominem, if the professor is indeed taking his grant money from Oil companies.
It would be ad hominem if the scientist has never been shown to be a liar; it would be ad hominem if Lanny simply called the professor an idiot, and in no way rebutted any of his arguments (which Lanny does in his previous posts).
Lanny sometimes gets on my nerves when it comes to his Hockey Related posts, but his review of this particular show is poignent and well thought out.
