Give bureaucrats a little power, and watch it go to their heads to the point of starting an international trade war which no one can afford.

Global climate, we are told, was more or less constant before man began emitting greenhouse gases. This is what a number of IPCC scientists tried (and are still trying) to tell us with their fabricated hockey sticks. A new 9170-year paleohydrologic reconstruction by Kirby et al is out. The team of scientists have examined deposits from […]
