Young: Everybody's an expert
Quite a few climate deniers, remotes in hand, will cite a recent made-for-Fox-News tempest in which hacked e-mails between climatologists were portrayed as undermining the numbers about global warming.

It makes for good TV, but analysis of the 1,073 e-mails in question, involving a team of five [expert?] Associated Press reporters, found "the messages don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked."

"Don't confuse me with the facts," could be a slogan for the modern-day understanding of expertise. Or what's a Sarah Palin for? A "contributor" for Fox News, that's what.
The Daily Bayonet » Disovered: New Species About to be Snuffed Out by Global Warming
The new species aren’t ‘formally described by science‘, but that doesn’t stop the ’scientists’ claiming that the new species are doomed by global warming.
Maybe these frogs and lizards like the warmth.

[Highly dubious claims]: Wind-powered resorts leave a smaller footprint - The Globe and Mail
Others, such as Grouse Mountain in B.C. and Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts, are powering themselves with their own wind turbines; Jiminy was the first resort in North America to have its own wind turbine when it went up in 2007, supplying about half the resort's energy needs, and the Grouse turbine will supply up to 25 per cent of the area's power needs in the winter when it is fully operational this month.

Aspen, Colo., is considered one of the greenest resorts, Scott says. It has been working on its sustainable credentials for a long time, and the city and the Aspen Skiing Company are now listed on the Chicago Climate Exchange, meaning they actually lose money [to the tune of a dime per ton of CO2?] if they don't stick to targets.
ClimateGate's Michael Mann Received Stimulus Funds - WSJ.com
As NewsBusters reported on November 28, Penn State University is investigating Professor Michael Mann, the creator of the discredited "Hockey Stick Graph," for his involvement in an international attempt to exaggerate and manipulate climate data in order to advance the myth of manmade global warming.

According to the conservative think tank the National Center for Public Policy Research, Mann received $541,184 in economic stimulus funds last June to conduct climate change research.
