Phil Jones, one of those responsible, has now stood down pending the outcome of an investigation and even Michael " Hockey Stick " Mann is now again under formal scrutiny from Penn State U.

Professor Lindzen's article suggests yet again, that the substantive causation argument at the heart of anthropogenic global warming alarmism; that "positive forcing" from increases in CO2 correlates to global temperature increases; is mere speculative posturing and lacks...

In what universe does the experience of colder weather this year than last year, that most of us have just lived through, not constitute, like you know, actual evidence that globa...
