What will the CBC do?
They asked people to submit questions that should be asked at next week’s Munk debate, but were too slow to cut off the responses.  They got up to twenty before, oh, I don’t know, something broke in their Internet and they couldn’t accept any more.  The twenty that did get posted were kind of interesting.  I really like the ones that refer to the CRU story that the CBC seems unaware of. I list the questions below, in case the CBC’s Internet is broken so badly that the questions disappear. Chat Questions (20) Mike Anderson Now that we have run the experiment for 10 years, and see that as CO2 goes up, temperatu

Why the Gaiain belief if just another branch of Leftism
With the revelations of scientific fraud in the AGW debate, I await the emergence of our next Senator McCarthy. Who was a party to this conspiracy? Who is covering up for them? How many warmists have been inflitrated into government? What is their relationship to Maurice Strong? Who authored the Copenhagen Treaty and why are they still in government?

Senator Joe McCarthy: do we need you now?

Warren today, Wente tomorrow
This is as stylized as kabuki and as predictable as left-wing lunacy.  The Citizen and Canwest don’t want to get caught off-base on this Climategate thing, so they test the waters with David Warren.  If the sky does not fall, then perhaps in a few days John Robson might mention it.  At the Globe, it will almost certainly be their house contrarian Margaret Wente who touches the story first – and maybe last.  Don’t misunderstand. These writers are not being used to legitimize or validate these stories, they are used to signify that the newspaper is aware of them but does not consider them newsworthy. The Citizen and the Globe want to make it clear that they noticed st

CBS News on Climategate
A good story by the excellent Declan McCullagah. Please read through some very good comments, particularly about the almost criminally bad data use.
