Grassroots fury puts heat on ETS | The Daily Telegraph

Those in the electorate who have bothered to inform themselves and not be influenced by the emotive arguments issuing from the self-confessed scientific ignoramuses of the blogosphere know more about the charlatans involved in promoting global warming than they did when Kyoto was first mooted.

Al Gore has since been revealed as a con man, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's scientific backing shown to be criminally distorted and emissions trading outed as another financial derivative to be run by the same traders who saw opportunities in no-document loans.

The Conspiracy Of The Centuries [Reader Post]

Penn State to investigate Michael Mann--or whitewash him

Mann's contemptuous attitude toward the committee formerly chaired by Rep. Barton has already been discussed. However, the more important question is why Penn State chose to ignore the Wegman report. That report raises a number of concerns of its own about the then-current (and still-current) state of climate science. Specifically, Wegman et al., charged that the "Hockey Stick" is the product of improper statistical treatment of the data and for that reason alone was not valid. Furthermore, Wegman et al., stated that Mann et al. had formed an "inner circle" and refused to interact with the general community of statisticians (who might be expected to have an opinion on their treatment of the data), and that Mann and other principal investigators had a habit of "review[ing] one another's work" and "reus[ing] the same data sets." This, said the Wegman committee, meant that the work of Mann and other investigators might not be as independent as they pretended.
