Russian analysts accuse Britain’s Meteorological Office of cherry-picking Russian temperature data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures. Is Copenhagen rooted in a single tree in Siberia?
Michael Mann, a Penn State meteorologist, wrote in Friday’s Washington Post that “stolen” e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit still don’t alter the evidence for climate change.
Mann, a creator of the discredited hockey-stick graph used in reports from the U.N.‘s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to show man-made warming, attacks climate skeptics, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, saying they “confuse the public.”

The reality is: man cannot predict the climate of the future.
Penn State Nittany Liar ALERT!
HOORAY Sarah!
HOORAY Russia!
Truth, Freedom, Life BUMP!
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shot back at California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Tuesday night for saying that her calls to boycott the United Nations climate talks were "nonsense" and that she was one of those global warming skeptics still living "in the Stone Age."
"Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change.
"While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can't primarily blame man's activities for those changes. And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn't do was hamstring Alaska's job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act 'greener than thou' when talking to reporters."
She's opposed to the idea that man causes climate change, but not to climate change itself.
“they “confuse the public.””
This phrase, “confuse the public”, is one that I have never seen in the U.S. press, but I have seen it in the Communist Chinese press, the Singapore press, and the Thai press quite often.
As if the public needs to be fed a story that they understand, and must be sheltered from conflicting data which might make them question the story.
There is no “right of the public to not be confused”, and there is no “right of the State to have an unconfused public”.
