The Mann Report « the Air Vent

The only interviews mentioned in the report are with Gerry North and Donald Kennedy, editor of Science. What does Donald Kennedy know about the matter? These two hardly constitute “looking at issues from all sides”. They didn’t even talk to Wegman. Contrary to Spanier’s claim, they did not make the slightest effort to talk to any critic or even neutral observer.

BBC News - Harrabin's Notes: Reforming the IPCC climate body

I was shocked to see WWF "science" included in the IPCC report, but several scientists have since said that it's essential to spread the search for climate facts beyond the narrow realms of peer-reviewed journals.
...
The web is the home of right-wing bloggers who campaign politically against the IPCC. But, for all its frequent vitriol and false accusations, the blogosphere has been proven at least partially right on occasions. Any future iteration of the IPCC will have to find a way of taking the serious bloggers seriously.

EU Referendum: A well-financed and vicious plot

The trouble is they don't understand bloggers, don't understand how they derive their power and, most of all, cannot conceive that a few dedicated people, motivated entirely by principle, can use the medium blogging affords and run circles round them.

In their narrow, corporate world, slaves to their paymasters and their vested interests, they can only see the world through the prism of their own experiences. And, like S L Rao, they get it hopelessly and laughably wrong. That is why we're going to beat them. The "monster" always has a blind spot – and we've found it.

Have gaffes given sceptics the ammo to undermine climate change theories? - New Zealand - Video - 3 News

Recent glaring errors in scientific reports on the rate of climate change are fuelling sceptics' claims that global warming is not real. So are efforts to stop gas emissions a waste of time and 'energy'?

The Atheist Experience: Global Warming Denial and God Belief

I've often wondered why the religious nuts are most often the most vocal against global warming. On the surface, it seems incongruous. When the topic is God, they prop up the flimsiest evidence and put their fingers in their ears, yelling "la la la" when there is solid evidence against supernatural belief. When the topic is global warming, however, these same people ignore the evidence and claim to be highly educated skeptics.

Flashback: Al Gore called 'prophet' at liberal Baptist meeting (OneNewsNow.com)

Al Gore has used a speech to hundreds attending Jimmy Carter's liberal Baptist meeting in Atlanta to sell his global warming campaign.

The Tennessean in Nashville describes Gore's speech this way: "With a green-colored Bible in one hand and his familiar red laser pointer in the other, former vice president and Nobel prize winner Al Gore led 2,500 Baptist preachers and lay leaders through his global warming slide show in Atlanta Thursday. Sounding more like an evangelist than a politician, Gore drew upon Scripture, science and a Sunday school teacher from his home church to urge Baptists to do whatever they could to fight global warming."
