Investors.com - Climate Flimflam Flaming Out

Environment: The United Nations makes a claim that can't be supported by science, and U.S. researchers ignore temperature data from frigid regions. The crack-up of the global warming fraud is picking up speed.

With so much of the science behind climate change coming under attack, especially among scientists, it's been a harsh winter for the global warming crowd:

Public Media Bias and Climate Change: Tim Ball

At the first Heartland Institute Climate Conference in New York, the BBC asked for an interview. I thought they were covering the first international “skeptics” conferences avoided by most media. After 45 minutes of taping, they asked if I would participate in a longer interview the next day. I signed the normal waiver before the second interview, which lasted approximately 2 hours.

Temperature data from the glacier area published by the IPCC at the time showed temperatures had been trending down for over 130 years. Yes, the glaciers were retreating but they were doing so despite the obvious cooling in the region - the same phenomenon has been witnessed in other regions of the world.

Brown’s Truck Beats Obama’s Hybrid - Henry Payne - Planet Gore on National Review Online

No doubt, Obama thought all politicians were as cynical as he, thus his swipe at Brown’s truck. He might have left it alone — after all, Brown’s vehicle is a rolling advertisement for General Motors, which Obama’s Washington half owns. But instead he left himself wide open for this Brown jab:

“Mr. President, unfortunately in this economy, not everybody can buy a truck,” the soon-to-be-senator shot back. Ouch.

From Inside and Out, Climate [Scam] Panel Is Pushed to Change - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com

At the Hawaii meeting, [John Christy] gave a presentation proposing that future reports contain a section providing the views of credentialed scientists publishing in the peer-reviewed literature whose views on particular points differ from the consensus. He provided both his poster and summary of his three-minute talk. In an e-mail message to me, he described the reaction this way
