The Climate Change ball keeps rolling
I'm still waiting for an analysis of the money trail, the details of who precisely is making money from the climate change panic. Until that, this will have to do:
The allegations over the past week are fourfold: that climate scientists controlled the publishing process to discredit opposing views and further their own theory; they manipulated data to make recent temperature trends look anomalous; they withheld and destroyed data they should have released as good scientific practice, and they were generally beastly about people who criticised their work.
And:
The ignorance of the natural world displayed by the scientists is remarkably at odds with the notion that the science is "settled". Where's the Global Warming, asks NCAR's Tom Wigley. His colleague Kevin Trenberth admits they can't answer the question. "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't... Our observing system is inadequate." Trenberth goes on further, and admits the the energy budget hasn't been "balanced". Wigley paraphrases him: "we are nowhere close to knowing where energy is going". It is climate experts admitting that they don't know what they're doing. (emphasis mine)

All ideas and plans to reduce the impact of human beings on the environment are a waste of time at best, and really a vast left wing conspiracy designed to rob us of our precious bodily fluids...
We all know that the breaking up of Antarctica and the retreating glaciers are just fabrications of the liberal media.
