Laboratory Equipment - Icy Questions for an Arctic Scientist

Then, the AP reports, through documents given to them by the Public Employees for Environment Responsibility (Peer), that investigators have been looking at Monnet and Gleason for months, and had already questioned Gleason in February 2011. That line of questioning revolved entirely around the 2006 paper, including possible mathematical miscalculations, whether the observations of the bears were accurate and whether the accompanying photos were doctored. In fact, the Guardian newspaper (U.K.) published the transcript from that interview, and when Gleason questions what is under investigation, the special agent responds, “the validity of the paper and the photos.”

But wait, I thought Monnett was only under investigation for some contract mumbo-jumbo, not for any of his findings and/or paper. Now the red flags are slowly starting to emerge. It seems that the Dept. of Interior can’t keep its story straight. First it was after the paper, then it was after integrity issues, and now it’s after… what, exactly? I’m not sure we will get that answer tomorrow, or any day after that for that matter.

Joe Bastardi Calls Manmade CO2 Global Warming “An Obvious Fraud”

Which leads to the question: How do these people have any credibility? How do they get away with this? It’s mind boggling that its gotten to a point where the EPA is dictating policy based on what is an obvious fraud, or if you want to be gentle about it, creates enough doubt to back off.

Climate Change and Food Production: A Misunderstood Connection

Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – whether from humans, or from oceans and other much larger sources – increases all vegetation growth rates, making food and animal feed more plentiful and ultimately less expensive.

The idea that man has significant impact on the earth’s temperature is both arrogant and absurd.

Why GOP leaders refuse to get real - Chicago Sun-Times

The mystery is not why so many Republican candidates persist in saying global warming is a myth. As we learned from the birther debate, some people will say anything for a boost in the polls.

The real mystery is why so many Americans refuse to accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that man-made global warming is real. About 64 percent of Americans believe the globe is warming up, according to a recent poll, but only 47 percent think the cause is mostly human activity.
