The scientist who is quoted by Ann Coulter and Michael Crichton to refute global warming would like to bitchslap both of them.

Our results have been misused as “evidence” against global warming by Michael Crichton in his novel “State of Fear” and by Ann Coulter in her latest book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism.” Search my name on the Web, and you will find pages of links to everything from climate discussion groups to Senate policy committee documents — all citing my 2002 study as reason to doubt that the earth is warming. One recent Web column even put words in my mouth. I have never said that “the unexpected colder climate in Antarctica may possibly be signaling a lessening of the current global warming cycle.” I have never thought such a thing either.

Our study did find that 58 percent of Antarctica cooled from 1966 to 2000. But during that period, the rest of the continent was warming. And climate models created since our paper was published have suggested a link between the lack of significant warming in Antarctica and the ozone hole over that continent. These models, conspicuously missing from the warming-skeptic literature, suggest that as the ozone hole heals — thanks to worldwide bans on ozone-destroying chemicals — all of Antarctica is likely to warm with the rest of the planet. An inconvenient truth?

This is what usually destroys the conservative argument, the truth.

Ann Coulter especially likes to talk about how liberals make up facts or distort the truth, while doing exactly that herself on a continuous basis.

I am still truly astounded that people allow themselves to be manipulated by these horrible people. I just hope it is not too late to educate the populace and start to turn this situation around.

Anybody enjoying this heat and blackouts so far? Well it is only going to get worse.
