Implausible Deniability Posted: 13 Dec 2010 12:11 PM PST "You're a sly one..." Climate science seems to work on the principle of "let's find an explanation which kinda sorta makes sense if you don't think about it, and then blame (whatever it is) on CO2."

Baby, it's cold outside! Posted: 13 Dec 2010 12:03 PM PST Is Al Gore in Florida this week? From NBC Miami: Arctic Front to Freeze South Florida Don't put the winter clothes away yet.

Like last year's UN-sponsored climate conference in Denmark, this global warming summit amounted to little more than hot air.
