The Reference Frame: Royal Society of Chemistry defends science against AGW secrecy

Phil Jones tries to act as a victim and comments on the "awful e-mails" he has written. But what's remarkable is that he admits that no other researcher (except for the "skeptics", whom he apparently didn't consider to be scientists) has ever wanted the raw data from him: they - or "most scientists" - only want the "final product".

That's cute because it shows that whatever he calls "most scientists" were actually not doing their work. His work has never been and couldn't have been verified by anybody. They only picked the results that they found convenient, so they never felt the urge to verify, check, or reproduce anything. The "skeptics" are actually the only people who could deserve the title "scientists" in these episodes.

A gas tax to cure global warming? Compromise looks to revive stalled plan | Washington Examiner

Argentinian Couple Shoot Kids, Kill Themselves Over Global Warming

The tragic story is clearly an isolated incident, yet it highlights the fear with which some people are receiving the constant drumbeat about anthropogenic global warming.

Clearly this couple were either already very much deranged or were so terrified that they ended their own lives believing that they were contributing to the destruction of the planet.

It is not surprising to hear of an incident like this, particularly in the face the concerted agenda to link global climate change with overconsumption and overpopulation, offering up depopulation policies as a possible solution.

[EU forests: Thriving in recent decades]

BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 1, 2010 (ENS) - Wildfires, storms, droughts and heat waves - European forests are beset with threats from a warming planet. Today, the European Commission opened a wide-ranging public discussion on how best to safeguard EU forests from the impacts of climate change.

EU forests have continuously expanded over 60 years and today account for five percent of the world's forest area. Most EU forests have grown in terms of their wood volume and carbon stock, removing more and more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, CO2, from the atmosphere, according to the Green Paper.
