When they lie about AGW to make their point, what does that mean to you? Does it make you think twice about the reality of the whole AGW case? Or do you think the lying is justified because the stakes are so high? In any event - do you trust the folks we call political leaders to know the truth and do the right thing? Or do you think they'll use any event to line their pockets via their 'friends'?
This from David D Friedman:
"I am not arguing for or against claims that the greater extent doesn't really count because it is thinner ice or that all the evidence taken together still supports long term shrinking of arctic sea ice. My claim is simply that the quote above, which is still up on the JPL web page, is false. When people lie to me about the evidence for their conclusions, offering other evidence that their conclusions are still true is not an adequate defense."
