Interesting, but hard to see how it [...]
I am not a professional climatologist but a common-sense fellow. Therefore I think I have more credibility than the average person who makes a living from "climate change." I enjoyed Coyote's Catastrophe Denied, but I think even he gave too much credence to existing data.

In the Empire Strikes Back fear and hate is personified by a tyrannical sith lord. In the Empire State tyranny took a less obvious but no less evil form today as the New York Senate voted 38 to 24 against marriage equality. [...]
