The university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen emails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny. The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with reque…
Is the goal of climate sceptics to lead us into greater scientific truth – or merely to sow doubt about the temperature record?When you peruse the many sceptic arguments against man-made global warming, you find a tendency to focus on a narrow piece of the puzzle while ignoring the broader picture. This narrow focus serves [...]
A UN climate panel is reconsidering its claim that there is a connection between global warming and a flux of natural disasters, a British newspaper reported on Sunday.This is not the first mistake to be made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate …
Inaccurate claims predicting Himalayan meltdown have handed gainsayers a big victory.
