Global Warming Nay-Sayers Research Smeared

While most of official Washington was captivated with the fight on the Senate floor to pass an energy bill before Congress left town for its August vacation, a vicious campaign was under way behind the scenes to smear two leading scientists for pointing out serious flaws in the science behind the theory of human-caused climate change.

Woe to the academic who dares to challenge the politically correct establishment with the truth.

Actually, Global Warming was responsible for the extinction of Kennewick Man, the European first inhabitants of America, opening the continent for the much later arrival of the "American Indian"...

Awarding the Nobel prize in Chemistry to Mann will settle this -- as he joins other worthless frauds recently awarded Nobel Peace, Literature and Chemistry prizes.

OK, here's my problem with this:

Two HArvard scientists write a paper basically saying that global warming (caused by humans) is not supported by the scientific evidence. Their paper is peer reviewed and appears in a (presumably) prestigious scientific journal. They are then savaged.

Savaged by who? Besides Mr. Mann (lacky of the UN and NWO), who else is attacking them? Who called for the editor's resignation and why does that person or group think they have the authority to demand that?

While I do not doubt for a second that this story is accurate, the perpetrators of these attacks must be named, and brought to account for their actions. Who are they to claim these guys from Harvard are "fringe" and even if they are fringe, what if they're correct fringe? Don't give these faceless bureaucrats/scientists/PC socialists a pass!

I want names, profiles and investigations of the nameless attackers.

The article does a good job as far as it goes, but it needs to identify these people and start sticking the mic in their faces for a change.

We need global warming (aka thermal enrichment) to kill off the sand nazis. Alas, the Canadian socialists will also see their lives improve, but you can't have everything.

Mr. Mann testified before the Senate committee that his research is the "mainstream view"

The use of the expression "mainstream view" as evidence supporting one's scientific theory is an oxymoron.

In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
"The world is flat" was the mainstream view

So if you're PC, like a democrat
You've got your proof--the world is flat.
