Peter Sinclair's newest is a look at how climate change deniers distort and misrepresent the climatic evidence from Antarctic ice cores, by falsely comparing them to Greenland ice records. I mean absolutely no disrespect to Dr. Richard Alley and his groundbreaking work, but I'd be remiss if I didn't note his ...
