Climategate: how the cabal controlled Wikipedia | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
This scandal grows more astonishing by the day - in its extent, its effect, its shamelessness, its savage intolerance and its betrayal of science. But this aspect of Climategate also sounds a deep warning of how easily the new technology of information dissemination can be hijacked by only a few well-placed extremists. Add that to Google’s promotion of Al Gore last week on its home page, and you can see and fear the potential.
Copenhagen Was A Huge Success - Minnesotans For Global Warming
This might seem a little schizophrenic, seeings how just yesterday I said Copenhagn was a dismal failure, but then I started to see all the stories of all the developed nations getting hit with very unusually cold weather, so it seems it was a huge success.

As climate-change activists mourn the hollow deal in Copenhagen, maybe they should look in the mirror. Thaddeus Russell on how their self-righteous, morally superior tone poisons the debate

[Dr. Cliff Mass] A group of us noted that the snowpack in the Cascades was not rapidly melting away, in contrast to publications by some local climate scientists and publicized by Mayor Nickels.

The reaction was intense. One of my colleagues, Mark Albright, who was the first to notice the lack of snowpack loss, was fired as associate State Climatologist. The media went wild – we called it “Snowpackgate”, and it got national attention.

I was told in the hallways to keep quiet about it – the denier types would take advantage of it.

Poor papers with significant technical problems, but reflecting the “official” line, get published easily, while papers like ours, indicating that “global warming” is weaker or delayed, go through hurdle after hurdle.

For example, in significant part as a result of the corn ethanol boom, American corn yields per acre are now 25% higher than what they were seven years ago, and five times higher than what they were in the late 1940s. In 2007, the dtate of Iowa alone produced more corn than the entire United States did in 1947, and nationally, corn yields are rising at a rate that will double output per acre again before the end of the next decade. And the improved seed strains and techniques that enable this will not only benefit American farmers and consumers, but the entire human race as their knowledge and use spreads around the globe. Aborting this progress in order to protect the oil cartel’s ability to impose scarcity can only do the greatest harm to the ability of humanity to keep itself fed or, even more importantly, to keep itself free.
