Well, that about "settles" the science

Read the whole damn thing. Bingo. If you want to understand what's going on about the science of Global Warming, this is your ticket.

And he's right - paleodendroclimatology on a triple word score would give you bragging rights for years.

I don't want to excerpt - in fact, I'm admiring it as a single package, luminescent in its beauty - but he flow-charts the decision making process. Spot on:
And he hits center mass on why the MSM doesn't want to touch this with a ten foot tree ring:
Lastly and as a slight aside, why so little from the MSM? That one is easy. You need to have a decent analytical brain just to deal with the chain of events. You need to have a decent analytical brain, a mathematical/scientific mind and a good grasp of some very hard statistics to understand what is being done to massage the numbers and to see how significant it is to the chain of events.

Slice your average environment correspondent through the middle and you're going to find a left-leaning liberal arts graduate who is utterly out of his/her depth. Their world view is being swept from underneath them and they are being shown—in ways that they do not really and have never had to understand—that the guys they thought were the goodies are in fact "at it" and that those they have spent a decade disparaging as deniers were in fact spot on.

I would find that hard to report too.
That looks to me to be on a triple word score, right there.

He has it right about the MSM; the question is how the policy-makers will react to this. It isn't in the western world's economic interest to cut CO2 emissions, so the collapse of the Apocryphal Global Warming movement might be accelerated by Canada, the US, et al dropping this thing like the stinking bag of dog crap that it is.
