What I’ve said before about Darwinism applies just as much to global warming alarmism: Even though it has lost its scientific validity, it will not go gentle into that good night:
Over the past few months, the scientific establishment has persistently worked to exonerate researchers caught up in the “climategate” scandal with the assistance of a compliant news media.
However, a new audit into the procedures and methodologies used within the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has added further weight to the concerns and criticisms of global warming skeptics.
. . . . By contrast, a six-month inquiry into “climategate” that relied almost entirely on the testimony of those implicated without input from critics and skeptics was invoked repeatedly as the subject of news reports in the New York Times and elsewhere that sought to reassert the validity of global warming alarmism.
An article by Kevin Mooney on Americans for Limited Government summarizes recent developments.
