Verruwing klimaatdebat

Deep-pocketed environmentalist group is implicated in bank rolling a new initiative to silence climate skeptics using libel laws. Beleaguered global warming religionist, Michael Mann has signed up a Canadian libel law firm that has ties to the ultra-green David Suzuki Foundation (DSF). Skeptics fear DSF and other warmist groups are gearing up for reprisals against skeptic scientists who have helped derail the global warming tax raising juggernaut. Internationally renowned climate scientist, Dr. Tim Ball and prominent U.S. skeptic Chris Horner appear to be the first victims of a coordinated attack by discredited ‘hockey stick’ graph conjurer, Michael Mann.

Contrary to what was stated in Dr. Ball’s article, Dr. Weaver: (1)never announced he will not participate in the next IPCC; (2) never said that the IPCC chairman should resign; (3) never called for the IPCC’s approach to science to be overhauled; and (4) did not begin withdrawing from the IPCC in January 2010.

A Pennsylvania State University professor claims climate-change denier Timothy Ball defamed him in an interview published by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, a Winnipeg-based think tank. Michael Mann, a professor in Penn State's meteorology department and director of the university's Earth Systems Science Center, claims that Ball defamed him when he said that Mann "should be in the State Pen, not Penn State," for his alleged role in the so-called climate gate email tussle. Mann says that Ball and the Centre refused to issue an apology and published the words with the "purpose of harming the plaintiff and exposing him to hatred, ridicule and contempt, lowering the plaintiff in the estimation of others, and causing him to be shunned and avoided."

Mann is facing a fraud investigation by, among others, Attorney General of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli. The Penn. State professor has seen his career nose-dive since his tree-ring data in his ‘hockey stick’ graph was proven to be concocted from cherry-picked data to exaggerate claims over global warming.

De Nationale Ombudsman heeft het Ministerie van Economische Zaken een aantal kritische vragen gesteld over de voorlichting die het Ministerie pleegt over windenergie. De Ombudsman doet dit naar aanleiding van een klacht van ene Hugo Matthijssen uit het Drentse Beilen die zich stoorde aan het feit dat de overheid in die voorlichting geheel voorbij gaat aan het speurwerk van Fred Udo, Kees le Pair en Kees de Groot waarmee was aangetoond dat windmolens geen dan wel zeer weinig besparing opleveren aan het gebruik van fossiele brandstoffen . en daardoor dus compleet zinloos zijn.
