The "Science" of Global Warming

Slick advertising broadsheet on pollution and global warming. Nice pictures of smokestacks and cars from the early 70's, courtesy of the EPA. Here comes the infamous Hockey Stick from Professor Mann. It still misses the mideval warm period and the little ice age. The publication professes to answer all those nagging questions about global warming, yet it is presented as a slick advertising pamphlet. Once upon a time, if you called yourself a scientist, you presented your theories backed up by experimental observations that could be duplicated by someone adept in the art. Now it is chase the billions to paid for finding global warming and publish your "data" in something that would do Madison Avenue proud. The more I read about it, the more inclined to believe the whole thing is a farce, especially when I see fluff like this.
