A funny/pathetic link from alarmist Kate Sheppard

An Inhospitable Climate | Mother Jones
Of course, this fails to mention that multiple investigations now have found no evidence of of wrongdoing when it came to the emails, or that a vast body of scientific literature [note that Sheppard actually links to the notorious Oreskes essay from 2004 (below) here!] affirms that the climate is changing, regardless of whether a few scientists sent some mean emails.

If Republicans do in fact take the majority in November, welcome to the next few years, folks!
BEYOND THE IVORY TOWER: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change -- Oreskes 306 (5702): 1686 -- Science
The 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.
