Garbage in, garbage out

In my Sunday Examiner column, I took a look at the scandalous emails, hacked from the Climate Research Unit site at the University of East Anglia, which grievously undermine the global warming alarmists’ narrative. The emails strongly indicate that the data used to document the claims that man-made global warming poses huge environmental problems appear to be fraudulent, and as the old saying goes: garbage in, garbage out. Making public policy—and policy that could impose huge costs on our economy and those of all advanced nations—on the basis of such flawed data is madness.

For more on Climategate, see this Times of London article, , Christopher Booker’s column in the Sunday Telegraph and Mark Steyn’s column asking who peer reviews the peer reviewers.

As you might expect, this scandal has gotten only desultory coverage in the New York Times and Washington Post. Musn’t let facts interfere with the narrative.
