There are thousands more such links. “Climate Change” is a key issue for a specific political agenda and it is used as a “hook” to get people to buy into more government control of their life. From government management of what lightbulbs they use to government mandates of what goes in the fuel for their cars to government regulations that redistribute industries globally.
This is not a scientific fight and if it is fought on that level, one is bringing a knife to a gunfight. You will be ignored or worse, you will be kowtowed too but in the end ignored.
What we need is someone to stand up and say with full authority of government that the misinformation they are putting out is simply not true. THAT will shut it down.

I have reservations about regulating research in this way, although the author makes an eloquent and persuasive case. I fear the law of unintended consequences will kick in. I don’t agree that blogs like this are fruitless – at the end of the day the best weapon is publicity and these sites have become an alternative and reliable source of information that is gradually pervading the MSM.
