A Debate?

This "debate" on the Hadley CRU e-mails was pretty one-sided. Poor John Christy is a honest, laconic, straight-forward guy. He is up against somebody who blathers on and obfuscates the issue. So there isn't much debate here:



Sadly Wolf Blitzer doesn't know the facts. He kept talking about "disappearing ice". As Christy points out, there has been some shrinkage in the arctic while the ice at the antarctic has increased. The ice hasn't "disappeared". What Christy should have pointed out is that there is natural variability in the ice and the shrinkage at the North Pole has occurred before and will occur again because it is part of a natural variability. What the global warming crowd wants to claim is that greenhouse gases have created runaway global warming. That isn't proven. What has been proven is that the fanatics were willing to fiddle the numbers, hide information, and elbow aside dissenting scientists.
