It’s a simple story, but a very important one because of the timing. Some of the people attending the upcoming meeting in Copenhagen had planned to use global warming as a reason to set up a ‘world authority’ that would have some control over every country on the planet.

One of the big stories on the internet yesterday was the story of a hacker who posted emails from Hadley Climatic Research Unit (CRU), Britain’s largest climate research institute. The emails suggest that scientists were altering data in order to … Continue reading
