RealClearPolitics - Alexander Cockburn - Anthropogenic Global Warming is a Farce

The global warming jamboree in Copenhagen was surely the most outlandish foray into intellectual fantasizing since the fourth-century Christian bishops assembled in 325 AD for the Council of Nicaea to debate whether God the Father was supreme or had to share equal status in the pecking order of eternity with his Son and the Holy Ghost.
...
The battles in Nicaea in 325 were faith based, with no relation to science or reason. So were the premises of the Copenhagen summit, that the planet faces catastrophic warming caused by manmade CO2 buildup, and that human intervention - geoengineering - could avert the coming disaster. Properly speaking, it's a farce. In terms of distraction from cleaning up the pollutants that are actually killing people, it's a terrible tragedy.

Die Klimazwiebel: No external pressure back in 2003 at Climate Research

In his article, Pat Michaels claimed: "After Messrs. Jones and Mann threatened a boycott of publications and reviews, half the editorial board of Climate Research resigned." Indeed, Hans von Storch resigned at first and four others, among them Clare Goodess, followed shortly afterwards. These resignations took place spontaneously and independently. We had indeed earlier been confronted with claims that unacceptable articles had been published in Climate Research – as documented by the stolen CRU e-mails – but also our non-direct response to the complainants was documented by these e-mails.
