The climate change consensus is melting away before our eyes. Even the scientist implicated by the climategate emails is starting to crack.
Meanwhile, one of the scientists at the center of the climategate fiasco has called into question other issues that the climate lobby has claimed are indisputable. Phil Jones, who stepped down as head of [...]

With two huge votes coming up, these articles should be required reading. The rest of the world is increasingly questioning the science of global warming, including France, Japan, Australia, the UK and other parts of the EU. Something I’ve been writing about on the blog for some time.
