"My name is Mark Steyn. I am not a scientist. I am an author. My main interest in climate science is that Michael E Mann, the inventor of one of its most notorious artifacts, is suing me for "defamation of a Nobel Prize winner" -- a crime that I was not aware existed, especially in his case, as according to the Nobel Institute he is not a Nobel Prize winner. So I recently edited a book about it called "A Disgrace to the Profession": The World's Scientists -- in Their Own Words-- On Michael E Mann, His Hockey Stick, and Their Damage to Science, Volume One -- which I'm proud to say was Number One on the Climatology Hit Parade. I have been Number Four on the Amazon books chart, and Number Seven on the Amazon easy-listening chart, and earlier this very month the Number One Amazon jazz vocalist, but I had no idea there was also a climatological bestseller list. Still, I'm happy my book was credible enough to get to the top of it.
That said, at a hearing on "Data or Dogma?", given the distinguished scientists here to address the data, I thought I should confine myself mostly to the dogma."

Al Gore says so and that’s all you need to know denier.
Great tag line, Graybeard!
I read the whole thing. Steyn kills it. Great read.
Climate change is a natural an unending process where the common weather patterns of locales change. It has been happening on earth since day 1.
As an example only about 12000 years ago where I am now was at the bottom of a huge river more then twice the width of the Mississippi. 10 miles to the north there was mile high mountain of melting ice; the edge of huge ice sheet extending from the arctic.
The climate has changed much since then.
Epic rant! I loved it.
The Senators would be ashamed if they had any shame in them.
I responded to Mann’s discovery requests almost two years ago. He has yet to respond to mine. No court around the world within the Common Law tradition to which this country is heir has ever presumed to adjudicate science. Judge Natalia Combs Greene is not competent to rule on landlord-and-tenant cases, never mind the extent of the Medieval Warm Period. Judge Vanessa Ruiz is so lethargic that, by the time she does rule on the science, global warming will have kicked in and the rising sea levels will have washed away the Maldives, Tuvalu and, with luck, the District of Columbia. My three years in the stagnant swamp of DC “justice†demonstrate why science in particular and public policy disputes in general are beyond the competence of the judges you confirm and the courts you fund.
And I would bet it went right over their leash-dog heads. They are owned.

Gotta read the whole thing. Steyn holds a few truths to be self evident.
Just speechless. Wow.
“The Government of the United States is the brokest entity in the history of brokeness. It has to pay back $20 trillion just to get back to having nothing at all. Which nobody in human history has ever done. Yet it apparently is not so broke that it can’t throw down the toilet 700 grand of funds marked for science on a lousy musical.”
bttt
He is a treasure. Freepers can support him by buying his books. As this article demonstrates, you will get your money’s worth.
I now understand Climate change and thank for the illuminating post. Have a great day and stay warm.
That’s it!!
