The head of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Professor Phil Jones, has stepped aside from his directorship for a temporary period to enable a faster and more comprehensive investigation of the Center’s electronic security and of how he (and others) managed the CRU (and their email correspondence) in the face of determined […]

Pat Sajak: Gl_b_l W_rm_ng D_n_ _ r ( _ssh_l_!)

June 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well, the man who needs aditzy blond to help him spell words has come out of the woodworks. Pat Sajak is a strong-worded Global Warming Skeptic.

Time of Consequences …

August 10th, 2007 · Comments Off on Time of Consequences …

Al Gore likes to quote Winston Churchill that we “are entering a time of consequences” as a rallying call to action.  Well, Gore probably agrees, we are not entering … we are in.  And, well, global weather patterns are providing a reminder as are lead scientists.
