"It was at this point real dread set in. It looked like the four of us were telling the truth. We were. And to the deluded who cherish the genetic fallacy this appeared that our result might be true, too. So the mentally feeble David Appell (sometime scourge of the comment box) put a FOIA request to the employer of Legates, but the poor soul was rebuffed because no state monies were involved in the writing of the paper. As we claimed. Then Greenpeace contacted the employer of Soon with the same intent, and Greenpeace discovered that Soon was in the same state as those who receive Greenpeace money. Which is to say, Soon in his career received money from sources other than our beneficent government. But he didn’t get anything for the paper the four of us wrote. How disappointed Greenpeace must have been to have discovered that."
You have a hard time concentrating due to hearing too many apocalyptic claims about CAGW, so you might have a headache in a week. Your dilemma: do you cut your own head off now or just go for the trepanning?
And yet these facts are rarely seen, I wonder why. And why aren't the words, "government-funded" used to describe the scientists who accept/promote all the CAGW dogma?
What about false flagging 'False' flags? I can't see any kind of coordinated abuse of this system at all, especially on political issues (which of course, don't exist on Facebook).
Steyn claimed that a university's internal investigation regarding Mann was a sham, similar to another investigation of a now-convicted pedophile at the same university.
I still don't understand the need to pray five times a day - it's like Allah wants his (her?) followers to check in with him (her?) every few hours or something. For Christians it's (supposed to be) once a week!

At first I wondered why mayoral candidates would be worried about cameras in Chicago's red light district.
And fuck off! Grrrr!
Poe's Law!
We'll need an environmental impact study to analyze the potential negatives effect of this man-made exploration device on native species.
Sort of like the latest IPCC report's 'Summary for Policymakers' vs. the actual report's contents?

I always wonder what percentage of these grants actually go towards hiring PR firms and preparing for the next round of grant applications.

What about all this carbon pollution stuff?
Good post, but you should have added, 'man' after the last sentence. as in, "That's not my bag, man.", and written it sounding like Tommy Chong.
...conservatives not accepting human damage to the environment...
I don't think that's what "conservatives" are saying...

...and here we are, seeing the predicted consequences now...
Where are the bodies?
No warming, yet CO2 released into the atmosphere is up. What does that tell you?
Climate Change is Big Business; there's no way reality is going interrupt the continuing propaganda, comrade.
It's government run amok (for your own good, of course), Comrade.
The case is going to be interesting and Mann can't back out.

"Caught in Infringement"
"...may itself be engaged in copyright infringement..."
I guess the headline was deemed to be more eye-grabby.
Actually, they were smarter than us, because there was no internet to easily spread dis- and misinformation so far and wide so quickly.
Ha!
it's only other people's money.
Good post, mod up.
