"Of course it must all be a lie. "

Well, Taro, it has two very blatant ones in it. Ones that are easy to check. Now why would I assume that the more difficult ones to check are more accurate? That is just crazy. If they have made up some big claims, what reason do I have to suspect they didn't make up the stuff that takes actual work to verify?

Sorry, Taro. I have only a mild interest in conspiracy theories. I think they shed interesting light on how people think, but fact-checking the convoluted twists and turns just takes much more time than I am willing to devote to the issue. It is easy enough to pick the big and easier to check claims, which I did one this, and decide whether or not it is worth it to continue. Now the easy to check claims, that of the Medieval Warm period and the Little Ice Age being edited away, are both wrong. Why should I delve any deeper?

I realize that you have, for whatever reason, a strong need to believe. To the point that you have thrown in with what are, by any reasonable measure, crackpots.
