Al's Journal : At COP15

I'm here in Copenhagen for the UN Climate Conference. Today, in addition to lunch with scientists, I heard a report on the state of ice in Greenland.

Climategate: the ailing 'mainstream' media are committing suicide by ignoring the scoop of the century – Gerald Warner - Telegraph Blogs

Climategate is a global household name. No cat has ever emancipated itself more completely from the bag. It is a world-wide scandal – thanks to the internet.
