Apologies for the laconic past few weeks. I’ve been getting killed at my day job, and have been dealing with some personal issues as well. But on the issue of Global Warming and the Climategate emails, I cannot remain silent any longer–mostly out of sheer glee.

He joins such other luminaries and peace makers as Al Gore, who not only invented the internet, but roams the Earth spreading lies about its impending doom... »
