American Thinker: Climategate: How to Hide the Sun
It seems clear that the Jones Gang felt threatened by the Climate Research paper. By all appearances, they saw the threat as significant enough to consider the scientific equivalent of evidence-tampering in order to hide the sun. Is this the kind of reaction we would expect from scientists interested in the truth? Or is it what we would expect from the infamous Mafioso John Gotti?

Perhaps William Shakespeare said it best in his famous play of conspiracy and intrigue, Hamlet: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
American Thinker: Antarctica and the Myth of Deadly Rising Seas
So perhaps when the green-gospel-pronouncing IPCC releases its Fifth Assessment Report, tentatively due for 2014, contributors and lead authors alike might carefully consider the NPI findings, the steady rate of SLR over the past 150 years, and the overall resilience of Antarctic ice before formulating their next soggy doom-and-gloom prophecy. (And don't forget this undeniable fact: Across the continent, the 2008-2009 southern hemisphere summer hosted the lowest Antarctic ice melt in thirty years.)

Surely were these people bound by scientific concerns exclusively, there'd be no doubt whatsoever that they’d do just that.
Is 'climate change' nudging us closer to a new ice age?
Dr. Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says the influence of human-induced CO2 emissions on climate is vastly overstated.

“Saying the climate system is completely dominated by how much carbon dioxide we have in the system is crazy – completely wrong . . . Carbon dioxide is not the major driver for the earth-climate system.”
Quake n’ Bake: Global Warming Causes More Energetic Earthquakes? « Watts Up With That?
At first, when I got an email message pointing out this topic of global warming driving more earthquake energy, I thought it was satire. Then I saw it was on CBS News, so I knew it couldn’t be satire, but something else altogether. I’ll leave deciding what that is up to you the reader.
76% of Tory members urge Cameron to focus on energy bills, not climate change - thetorydiary
Speaking at a meeting of centre right think tanks and campaigners yesterday, Matt Sinclair of The TaxPayers' Alliance warned that voters would be furious if their energy bills rise because of green measures at the same time that their pay is being squeezed and their taxes rising.

At the same meeting Lord Lawson was very upbeat about the prospects of climate change sceptics prevailing.
