Do you get it .... that Heartland is willing to sue over the fake document ... but the Climategate people aren't. The reason they haven't is because truth is the best defense.

Settled Science : Oil Sands To Benignly Destroy The Planet Posted on February 20, 2012 by Steven Goddard Oil sands mean game over for Earth. One of America’s foremost climate scientists says that if the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline is built to tap the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, the impact on the Earth’s climate will be devastating. “Essentially, it’s game over for the planet,” said James Hansen, the head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “Game Over” For Planet if Keystone Pipeline Built Oil sands won’t have a noticeable effect on Earth One of the world’s top climate scientists has calculated that emissions from Alberta’s oilsands are unlikely to make a big difference to global warming Coal, not oilsands, causes global warming Follow the money ….. This has nothing to do with science, and never did. real-science.com And Hansen also said back in 2008 that we had only 4 years to prevent out of control global warming. Ten months to doomsday ... I don't know if he based that on Mayan prophecies but it sure wasn't on science.

Climate scien ... er, journalist bothered by too many people catching onto the con: Andrew Freedman Asks The Wrong Question Posted on February 20, 2012 by Steven Goddard COMMENTARY By Andrew Freedman This may come as a shock to you, but global warming is a controversial subject in the United States these days. (No, really, it is.) The very existence of man-made global warming, not to mention the array of policy choices for responding to it, are such flash points in American politics that it’s nearly impossible to raise the subject in social settings without sparking an awkward conversation. Worse, those discussions are nearly always set spiraling downward by the most annoying question ever posed to a climate scientist or journalist: “So, do you believe in global warming?” Top 5 Faux Careers To Avoid Discussing Global Warming A better question is : *Do you believe in “Mann/Hansen” made warming? About 10 years ago, Hansen magically turned a 70 year long US cooling trend into a warming trend.* Mann did some even more impressive work, erasing 1,000 years of global history Perhaps Freedman should take his road show to Europe, and ask them if they believe in global warming? Fifteen feet of snow buries Eastern Europe in historic winter MONDAY 20 MARCH 2000 According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said. Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past What kind of silly person would dare question the world’s top scientists? They need their funding, and it doesn’t help to have informed laymen questioning their junk science. real-science.com
