Funded Arrogance

The Wong-Fielding Meeting on Global Warming
Ask a politician, WHY do need to tax or trade carbon and what will they say? Armed with the best experts they can find, they still can ‘t name any evidence.

DeSmog Accidentally vindicates The Skeptics Handbook
DeSmogBlog could’ve flattened The Skeptics Handbook in just one sentence. All they had to do was point to empirical evidence that more CO2 forces temperatures up. They can’t. It’s all bluff and bluster.

The Skeptic That Wasn’t
