Debra Saunders writes here about the "Winter of Global Warming".  From the East Anglia Climategate scandal to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007 report that "wrongly predicted that it was likely Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035, based not on peer-reviewed research, but on an article in a popular magazine" the hysteria of global warming is finally starting to collapse under the weight of it's fraudulent and non-scientific claims.  Saunders article is the best summary I have read about the events of the past few months.  She writes, "Like the Wicked Witch of Oz, the global-warming machine is melting into a wretched puddle. Tuesday, The New York Times jumped in to save the day. An editorial reminded readers that, despite "isolated errors and exaggerations," the IPCC report did win a Nobel Prize."  Of course Al Gore won a Nobel Prize too so that logic doesn't work to well.

The Forgotten Man knows some smart people who think Columnist Tom Friedman is a geniur and rave about how enlightening his book The World is Flat is.  Saunders points out his silliness too, "Columnist Tom Friedman suggested that calling "global warming" by a different name, "global weirding," would change the debate. Friedman apparently believes that people who don't agree with him are so stupid that a new name will distract them from any ideas or facts on an issue."  That's part of the global warming alarmists problem, they really think we are all stupid. They have now taken to "scolding skeptics who have pointed to this year's record snowfalls as dimwits who do not know the difference between weather and climate. This is choice -- after all the years during which the global-warming believers pointed to every warm season, low-snowfall report and storm as proof that the "tipping point" was near."
