The Times of London had a blockbuster of an item in its reporting of ClimateGate: The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked e-mails. This is serious, isn’t it? One of the key government institutions, […]

Over recent months, R L Miller has increasingly impressed me with thoughtful, informed, insightful, and passionate writing. This guest post, on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit, is visually and intellectually a piece of beauty and pain. Turning and turning in the widening gyre the spin machine twirls and curls: E-Mail Fracas Shows Peril […]

The old adage: A picture is worth 1,000 words.  Does this apply to graphics as well? Today’s Washington Post has a front-page article on ClimateGATE (more appropriately, perhaps SwiftHack) In e-mails, science of warming is hot debate.

Sadly, George Will will not be writing something truthful like the material below. Instead, we should expect that he is feverishly working on a column jumping on the denialosphere bandwagon shouting about “ClimateGate” to add his Will-ful deceit to SwiftHack. While news reporting focuses on misreading of stolen emails, the reality is that climate chaos […]

While the denialosphere is shouting about “ClimateGate” and traditional media turn their attention to SwiftHack, the Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) released a report that should be on the front page of every newspaper, discussed passionately on every talk show, and be heard about by every adult American. While aware of the impacts of burning […]

This guest post from Josh at Enviroknow is the most comprehensive and organized post about ClimateGATE that has emerged to date.  Josh will be updating this excellent reference document here. First of all, this story should never have been called ClimateGate. Given the similarities between this smear job and the Swift Boat attacks on Senator […]

Despite the $100s of millions (and likely more accurately, $billions) of resources expended on disinformation, mediocre reporting by the mass media, and the active embrace of falsehoods as part of political manipulation by many of a political party’s leadership, the vast majority of Americans adhere themselves to the basic facts that the globe is warming […]
