Don't miss this: Mark Steyn: Cooking the books on climate
The more frantically they talked up "peer review" as the only legitimate basis for criticism, the more assiduously they turned the process into what James Lewis calls the Chicago machine politics of international science. The headline in the Wall Street Journal Europe is unimproveable: "How To Forge A Consensus." Pressuring publishers, firing editors, blacklisting scientists: That's "peer review," climate-style. The more their echo chamber shriveled, the more Mann and Jones insisted that they and only they represent the "peer-reviewed" "consensus." And gullible types like Ed Begley Jr. and Andrew Revkin of the New York Times fell for it hook, line and tree-ring.Why Global Warming Must Be a Fraud - An Editorial

If you fall for this after the revelations of the past week, you're as big a dupe as Begley or Revkin.

What better way to write about global warming than to put himself, his wife and their daughter on a carbon diet for a year?Obama to plead US case at global warming summit - Breaking News - TheState.com
The White House said it will send a half-dozen Cabinet secretaries to the talks, including Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, as well as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which is preparing regulations to cut greenhouse gases.
