Message on climate emotive, but a fraud | Piers Akerman - The Daily Telegraph

As yet, the global warming crowd have failed to produce any observation-based evidence that carbon dioxide levels have led to rising temperatures, but have shown that they are willing to distort data, manipulate facts and censor those who disagree with their ideology.May all those who have peddled this dangerous and unscientific nonsense wake to a lump of coal in their stocking on Christmas Day.

[More barking madness from "Scientific" American]: Not Enough…Tuvalu Gone, But Still Hope for NYC
