Not a surprise, but still Wow at the audacity.
To those on the political left, the truth was irrelevant,
the truth is irrelevant,
and the truth will be irrelevant.
The left have taken over almost all of our academic and journalistic institutions. They have ruthlessly driven out those who disagree with their point of view.
Now, with no one inside left to challenge their dogma, they are using their power to pursue their political agenda without any regard for truth, balance, or scientific method.
Fortunately, the internet and blogosphere have risen up as a counterbalance. You can expect relentless attacks against all of these naysayers.

Far cry from that nonsense that the left foams over.
The way the lefties wanted to believe this report echoes the way they want to believe anything about Global Warming.
