He withheld primary data for years
Once he was forced to divulge he was exposed by McIntyre the week

The NYT Times article you complain about came down on your side but not enough I see. Hopefully he will report next on the Briffa brouhaha

The Briffa lies have given China and India enough ammunition to never sign on board your self destruct bandwagon. They don’t have liberal Western guilt in search of…. Well you found something to be guilty of and to get a decent paycheck from. America and Europe (guilty rich whites) warming the planet too much by increasing the puny 4 CO2 molecules per 10,000 atmosphere molecules to 5 or 6.

When it is actually earth warming that causes more CO2 in the atmosphere. And current lack of sunspots means a cooler sun and cooler earth. I live 1500 miles south of NYC and do organic gardening. I chuckle at how fast a pile of wood chips decays here. A friend gets big deliveries of wood chips from the tree trimmers and mulches fruit trees with them. Illustrating how hotter climates make organics decay quicker releasing CO2 quicker
