Michael Barone takes on global warming’s “Climategate” in his latest Washington Examiner column:
The Copenhagen climate summit was convened to get the leaders of
nations to commit to sharp reductions in carbon dioxide emissions —
and thus sharp reductions in almost all energy usage, at huge economic
cost — in order to prevent disasters that supposedly were predicted
with absolute certainty by a scientific consensus.But that consensus was based in large part on CRU data that was, to
take the charitable explanation, “complete rubbish” or, to take the
more dire view, the product of deliberate fraud.
