On Sunday, in The New York Times, Al Gore deemed it disgraceful that \u201cdeniers\u201d were suggesting that this year\u2019s East Coast Snowmageddon had undermined the Inconvenient Truth of man-made global warming. More snow was clear evidence of the pernicious hand of industrial man. The next day, B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell told The Globe and Mail that the lack of snow at the Vancouver Olympics was due to \u2026 man-made global warming.<\/p>\n<p>These deliciously inconsistent claims also spring from the growing desperation of policy entrepreneurs and politicians in the face of greater public skepticism, which is in turn based in mounting evidence of scientific manipulation by the UN\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.<\/p>\n<p>Premier Campbell has been coming under mounting pressure \u2014 ahead of yesterday\u2019s provincial budget \u2014 to ditch burdensome carbon taxes.
