UVA goes all in on Climate Gate FOIA coverup | Christopher C. Horner | Op Eds | Washington Examiner

The school has spent approximately $500,000 to date keeping these records from the taxpayer, who paid for their production to begin with.

The university again labored to avoid releasing correspondence directly addressing the now discredited “Hockey Stick” graph produced while former assistant research professor Michael Mann worked there.

At least 126 of those emails were sent to or from Mann at UVa and were central to ClimateGate, which exposed a purported, now disavowed temperature record, as well as the Hockey Stick and related activities by scientists to keep dissenting work from publication. The emails showed scientists circling the wagons to protect their claims, funding and careers.

Each of these 126 UVa ClimateGate emails, as with other related Mann correspondence with third parties of which we are aware, is covered by our VFOI request. Not one of them made it into UVa's releases.

A useful example of complying with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act is George Mason University's prompt release to the media of correspondence from Professor Edward Wegman.

Blog: Warmists crank up propaganda machine as Irene bears down on the east coast

Why when catastrophe doesn't strike isn't it proof that warming is not as serious as the hysterics make it out to be, but when the worst happens, it automatically is the fault of global warming?

If we're talking cause and effect - and we are - the lack of storms should carry just as much weight against serious effects of warming as a plethora of storms "proving" warming this year. Warmists conveniently ignore their own criteria for sounding the alarm when the evidence - or lack thereof - goes against them.

A graphical comparison of solar cycles 21, 22, 23 and 24 | Climate Realists

If you think Solar Cycle 24 is weaker and still progressing slower than previous solar cycles? You are correct. This is a comparison of Solar Cycles 21, 22, 23 and 24 so far.

Global warming did not cause this, but denying that 953 mb hurricane blasting the coast is not a major event is not right either
