  —theblogprof

  Number of comments: 0
  When the ClimateGate emails and program code was leaked to the public via a whistleblower, it started a cascade similar to a house of cards falling down. There are two primary heroes that have blown the lid off of global warming alarmism and exposed the fraud for what it was. [...]

• Video: The global warming programmming code that is a fraud

  —theblogprof

  Number of comments: 1
  The smoking gun in the CRU information that was leaked was in small part the email, but the vast majority of eth fraud is contained in the code. It's a mess that has fudge factors (the programmer even calls it such!) and routines do actually hide the decline. Garbage in, [...]

• AP: Economy's rebound not as strong as first thought. 3.5% Q3 GDP revised down to 2.8%

  —theblogprof

  Number of comments: 11
  That "robust" 3.5% GDP growth rate in Q3 that the AP heralded as the end of the recession sans actual jobs? That just got reduced. A lot. As in down to 2.8% now. Even that is deceiving as consumer spending, which comprises 70% of the economy, declined 0.5% during the [...]
