Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has used the power of government to seek documents from the University of Virginia regarding its former professor and Climategate figure of "hockey stick" fame, Michael Mann. Mr. Cuccinelli is investigating whether Professor Mann engaged in fraud to obtain taxpayer money to fund his research.

EPA has just indicated it will start acting against large producers of greenhouse gases - - but not water vapor which is by percentage the dominant greenhouse gas.
EPA is targeting landfills, coal plants and companies that make the ingredients for concrete. So basically the cost of concrete in any form, trash removal and energy will increase based on fraudulent science.
So even tho cooling towers spew water vapor - just as harmless as CO2 which EPA deems as scary - from nuclear plants, that is okay.
Let’s see. Global warming took, what, a decade, maybe 2, to come and go, maybe a bit longer.

Command and control economics meets command and control "science" in the halls of command and control academia. As with all command and control institutions established by man, these too shall all fail in time.
AGW crashing and burning encourages me in the belief and hope that group think in the sciences in general may finally be coming to an end, because the guys running the show (scam) may finally be exposed for the politically driven intellectual lightweights that they truly are.
FReegards!
