Great article.

Perhaps I'll have to add it to my list. :-)

www.junkscience.com has the best info I have seen on 'global warming'.

The bottom line on global warming - BUNK.

And even if it's not a lie it proves that evolution is a myth because the lieberals say we can not adapt to our (new) environment.

As part of natural quasi periodic oscillations in glaciation (mind you, we are STILL in the midst of TEMPORARY interglacial period) one can clearly see that the medeival optimum and little ice age are harmonics of the grand oscillation. In this context, the slight warming since 1850 appears to be either another optimum, or, more incidiously, the overshoot prior to the INEVITABLE return to glaciation. And mankind has had little if any impact on this. How could we, the forces responsible for these oscillations are so immense that we are simply not physically capable of modifying the atmosphere enough to change them. One other oft overlooked factor is that CO2 is only a miniscule component in the atmosphere and is constantly being precipitated out by phytoplankton via their shells.

Dr. Mann and scientists close to him viewed this [McIntyre and McKitrick's critique of the "hockey-stick"] as a political attack, not science. Dr. Mann offered a strong rebuttal of the Canadians' 2003 journal article, explaining that it didn't correctly apply his techniques. In doing so, however, he revealed details of his data and mathematical methods that hadn't appeared in his original paper.

When Messrs. McIntyre and McKitrick pointed this out to Nature, the journal that first published the hockey-stick graph, Dr. Mann and his two co-authors had to publish a partial correction. In it, they acknowledged one wrong date and the use of some tree-ring data that hadn't been cited in the original paper, and they offered some new details of the statistical methods. The correction, however, stated that "none of these errors affect our previously published results."

Mr. McIntyre thinks there are more errors but says his audit is limited because he still doesn't know the exact computer code Dr. Mann used to generate the graph. Dr. Mann refuses to release it. "Giving them the algorithm would be giving in to the intimidation tactics that these people are engaged in," he says.

Climate change: Menace or myth?
12 February 2005
Fred Pearce
Magazine issue 2486
Global warming is a fantasy dreamed up by climate scientists, say the sceptics. Could they possibly be right, asks Fred Pearce
ON 16 FEBRUARY, the Kyoto protocol comes into force. Whether you see this as a triumph of international cooperation or a case of too little, too late, there is no doubt that it was only made possible by decades of dedicated work by climate scientists. Yet as these same researchers celebrate their most notable achievement, their work is being denigrated as never before.

The hostile criticism is coming from sceptics who question the reality of climate change. Critics have always been around, but in recent months their voices have become increasingly prominent and influential. One British newspaper called climate change a "global fraud" based on "left-wing, anti-American, anti-west ideology". A London-based think tank described the UK's chief scientific adviser, David King, as "an embarrassment" for believing that climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism. And the bestselling author Michael Crichton, in his much publicised new novel State of Fear, ...
