Great. This is all we need. So-called evidence to help support the idiotic ideas of these global warming deniers.


Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute

Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

The e-mail messages, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views. Drafts of scientific papers and a photo collage that portrays climate skeptics on an ice floe were also among the hacked data, some of which dates back 13 years.

Brings to mind something my father often said, "Why are there more horse's asses than there are horses?"

Lesson is don't assume anything on your computer is private.

When you assume you make an ass of you and me.

What is this about a British court finding nine errors in Al Gore's documentary, Inconvenient Truth? Something about the polar bears are not really going extinct, the disappearance of the snows on Mount Kilimanjaro cannot be blamed on global warming, and Hurricane Katrina cannot be blamed on warming of the globe.

Hurricane Katrina

Katrina was not a particularly bad hurricane in terms of wind damage. It was the flooding that occurred afterward due to New Orleans being at sea level.

I think many citizens in New Orleans would disagree.
