Were you wondering about the cause of climate change? Is it CO2 emissions? Pollution? Cosmic rays? Or is it all a giant hoax perpetrated by tricksy scientists?

The UK House of Commons’ exoneration of the CRU scientists came as no surprise; I’ve maintained from the very beginning that ‘Climategate’ is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the public by the climate change denial industry.

It’s amazing how many people are sending me hate mail about Norman Leboon, the wacko who was arrested for threatening Republican Rep. Eric Cantor, saying that I’m supposed to “retract” something.
