Still lots of interesting stuff around, so...
First up is the news that even though the legal wranglings over Cuccinelli's attempt to get the Mann emails continue, it is likely that they will be revealed by another route. Christopher C. Horner of the American Tradition Institute’s law center, David W. Schnare, a federal attorney and Bob Marshall is a Virginia Republican delegate have requested the same information as Cuccinelli, but under FOIA, which has few get-out clauses for the university. A response should be swift.
Also interesting is an article in Forbes magazine by Larry Bell, author of a forthcoming book called Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind the Global Warming Hoax.
Scientists appear to be very nervous about a new programme in the US House of Representatives called YouCut, where suggestions for spending cuts can be proposed by members of the public. The first focus of the programme is the National Science Foundation and this has led to some apocalyptic predictions. A somewhat more balanced picture is given by New Scientist, although the article still has a feeling of wanting to protect entitlements.
There is shock among the AGW fraternity that some of their number may be (whisper it) conservatives. An article in the LA Times unmasks Kerry Emanuel as someone who "believes marriage is between a man and a woman". Collide-a-scape looks at the same story. Meanwhile, the International Socialism Journal says that lefties should beware of sceptics.
The Global Warming Policy Foundation have written to the House of Commons Transport Committee, calling for an investigation of why the forecast of a cold winter was not relayed to the public. As Benny Peiser puts it:
Not only is the lack of Government preparedness a cause for concern, but we wonder whether there may be another reason for keeping the cold warning under wraps, a motive that the Met Office and the Cabinet Office may have shared: Not to undermine the then forthcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun.
McIntyre may have had his apology from Crowley but many people think EOS should be apologising too - it was they who published Crowley's false claims and then refused to set the record straight when McIntyre pointed the truth out to them.
The Huffington Post has contacted Matt Briggs to find out how many Ivy League professors are sceptics. Matt suggests they do some non-fallacious research.
More greens wanting to do away with democracy, and given a platform to do so by the Guardian. Haunting the Library has the story, as does Climate Resistance.
Donna LaFramboise wonders why Greenpeace are so keen on donations of corporate stocks and why they don't refuse the stocks of, say, oil companies.
