It is a bit startling just how swiftly reports have come in to exonerate the good old boys who gave us global warming.  Here is Fred Singer on his take on the situation.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are now plenty of additional articles out there that have come down on this cabal of climate scientists very hard and few are pulling punches at all.  They are all on the way to been enshrined as participants of the greatest scientific hoax ever.  I added a second item on at the end of this one.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

In the end, the curious agenda of those statists who dream of world taxation and dispensation of lolly to the deserving will have to wait a lot longer.  There are plenty of real problems to keep us all occupied for the nonce.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

There is now a desperate effort afoot by assorted climate alarmists to explain away the revelations of the incriminating e-mails leaked last year from the University<\/st1:placetype> of East Anglia<\/st1:placename><\/st1:place> (UEA). A concerted whitewash campaign is in full swing to save the IPCC and its questionable conclusion that the warming of the last thirty years is anthropogenic. But ongoing investigations so far have avoided the real issue, namely whether the reported warming is genuine or a manufactured result by scientists in England<\/st1:country-region> and the United States<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> who manipulated temperature data.<\/span><\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has repeatedly characterized anthropogenic global warming (AGW) as a “hoax” — and he may soon be vindicated. Certainly, the remedies invoked to “fight” AGW are a cruel hoax — mainly a tax burden on low-income households who will pay more for electricity, food, transportation, and other necessities of life.<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The UEA’s “internal” investigation has largely absolved Dr. Philip Jones, the head of its Climate Research Unit (CRU) and author of most of the e-mails, of any misdeeds. (The UEA has also commissioned an “independent” investigation by Sir Robert Muir-Russell, due in August.) Pennsylvania<\/st1:placename> State<\/st1:placetype> University<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place> (PSU) has merely slapped the wrists of Dr. Michael Mann for various ethical offenses but sees nothing wrong with the science. The United Nations, at the urging of the Royal Society and U.S.<\/st1:country-region> National<\/st1:placename> Academy<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place> of Sciences, has launched a supposedly independent investigation of IPCC procedures to be conducted by the InterAcademyCouncil (IAC), a creature of the science academies. It is likely to backfire and lower further the public’s opinion of the academies — and indeed of science generally.<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

The latest report, by the British House of Commons’ Science and Technology Committee, received testimony from many sources, conducted hearings, and largely absolved Jones. How can we tell that it’s a whitewash? Here are some telltale signs:<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
