Mike Mann on How to Fight the Deniers | The Intersection | Discover Magazine
Mooney: Can the scientific community fight harder, or must it draw the line somewhere? You’ve got someone out there like Marc Morano, who is incredibly effective at doing what he does, his website is ClimateDepot, it is very high traffic….the scientific community does not have its equivalent. And the question is, should it, or is that crossing some sort of line?

Mann: Well, it’s the old line about getting into a fight with a pig: “you’ll get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.” There’s some truth to that.
EPA proposes CO2 restrictions, declares war on taxpayers
In short, the incessant fear-mongering about rising CO2 emissions – and the EPA’s decision to declare an atmospheric plant nutrient dangerous – is based on unrealistic and unproven climate models whose predictive accuracy is questionable, if not completely unsound.

A perfect storm is brewing for the IPCC - Telegraph
With all this mighty army of gullible politicians, dutiful officials, busy carbon traders, eager "renewables" developers and compliant, funding-hungry academics standing to benefit from the greatest perversion of the principles of true science the world has ever seen, who are we to protest that their emperor has no clothes? (How apt that that fairy tale should have been written in Copenhagen.) Let all that fluffy white "global warming" continue to fall from the skies, while people shiver in homes that, increasingly, they will find they can no longer afford to heat. We have called into being a true Frankenstein's monster. It will take a mighty long time to cut it down to size.
