Over three and a half years ago, the cat was already out of the bag that the University of East Anglia<\/strong> falsified their data. According to Bob Carter<\/strong> of Queensland, Australia, who wrote an article in March of 2006. We posted it then and will repeat it now that the alarmists have been outed . . .<\/p>\n

Professor Bob Carter<\/strong>, a geologist at James Cook University, Queensland, who is engaged in paleoclimate research, wrote this excellent article addressing the “Man-made global warming” myth:<\/p>\n

Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero). <\/p>\n

Yes, you did read that right. And also, yes, this eight-year period of temperature stasis did coincide with society’s continued power station and SUV-inspired pumping of yet more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n
