In the wake of the ClimateGate revelations, and because the Democrats in charge refused GOP attempts to bring forth witnesses in this morning's hearings, minority House republicans on Rep. Ed Markey's Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming have asked for their own dedicated day of hearings to examine the evidence serving as the foundation of the assertion that mankind is responsible...

clipped from article.nationalreview.com “ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ” wondered Juvenal: Who watches the watchmen? But the beauty of the climate-change tree-ring circus is that you never need to ask “Who peer-reviews the peer-reviewers'” Mann peer-reviewed Jones, and Jones peer-reviewed Mann, and anyone who questioned their theories got exiled to the unwarmed wastes of Siberia....

"This weekend I was startled and very pleased to see the financial shows on Fox Business discussing some of the issues about “ClimateGate”. Sadly, their “panel” was up against a talking points troll and they let him run rampant unchallenged. Repeatedly he ranted about “it’s all Peer Reviewed PEER REVIEWED!!!” As though that granted immunity from the issue....

I've lost count of how many green blog crawlers have passed through here arrogantly talking about "peer review" as if it was the Holy Grail of science, the alpha and omega of rational thought. Did I mention, that each and every one of those greenies were also sitting on a big green post and rotating in the wind while they obediently spewed the "Real Climate" talking points. They...

… I do not think it means what you think it means. Mark Steyn looks at what “peer-reviewed” means in the world of climate change true-believer thuggery: But don’t worry, it’s all “peer-reviewed.” Here’s what Phil Jones of the CRU and his colleague Michael Mann of Penn State mean by “peer review”.

The trouble with outsourcing your marbles to the peer-reviewed set is that, if you take away one single thing from the leaked documents, it's that the global warm-mongers have wholly corrupted the "peer-review" process. When it comes to promoting the impending ecopalypse, the Climate Research Unit is the nerve-center of the operation. The "science" of the CRU dominates the "science"...

Anyone who cares has found them by now so I won't trouble you with all the details. James " Gonad Eater " Annan is fulfilling, with commendable neutrality, the role of arbitrator to which I appointed him, and I don't think there is much more I need to say. That won't stop me from saying it, of course. Other people who have said sensible things include Denial Depot , Newtongate , CM and of...

Hey dudes. We'll be doing it so you don't have to. Live from room 105 at 12:45 (as y'all know from the thousands of emails telling you to go). So, sit back, relax and let us listen so you don't have to (that's right, today we're that nerdy guy in the front row of Torts who always sends you his notes). Also, seriously people, we know there's a town hall today. You can stop forwarding the damn emails....

Can this be true? Is Global Warming a hoax perpetrated by all those “peer reviewed” scientists? Tune in and read. I’ve supplied a tidbit. I’d like to think it is true because I’ve been a skeptic since almost day one and I’ve noted that the loony Owl Gore has gotten rich while NOT cutting his [...]

We recently wrote about how booksellers were freaking out over the "price war" between Amazon and Wal-Mart, whereby they're starting to offer certain books at a very cheap price to bring in more customers. The whole thing was a bit silly. Reader Robin Trehaeven alerts us to a fantastic opinion piece in the Library Journal by Barbara Fister, a librarian at Gustavus Adolphus College, in which...

The government has proposed a complicated and expensive system of letters, independent bodies and First Tier Tribunals as a way to stop the sharing of copyright content, but it seems unlikely to work Lord Mandelson has "warned internet users today that the days of 'consequence-free' illegal filesharing are over," according to my colleague Mark Sweney .
