Sheesh, the dam has truly broken. Investigative journalists all over the world (but lamentably, darned few in the U.S.) are now tearing into the meat of the story revealed by the ClimateGate emails. Notable recent events:
Steven Goddard uses tectonics (just as I did) to illustrate how scientific consensus has often been wrong.
Dr. Phil Jones, the disgraced scientist and administrator at the center of the ClimateGate emails, has admitted that there has been no detectable global warming in the past 10 years – directly contradicting one of the central assertions of the IPCC report, and of course the heart of preacher Al Gore's fire-and-brimstone claims.
After errors in the IPCC's claims about Himalayan glaciers, African agriculture, Australian and New Zealand's temperature records, and South American rain forest demise, could there be even more that they screwed up? Yup, and JoNova has the details (in Scandinavia, this time). Did these clowns get anything right?
The London Times reports on doubts about modern temperature records, focusing on local factor problems such as the urban heat island effect. Jeez, it's about time! For several years now, AGW skeptics have been all over this rather obvious foundational problem for the whole AGW theory...
Brian at Six Meat Buffet has a suggestion for the next angle the British press should investigate: just why in the hell the American press has neglected the whole ClimateGate/AGW story...
