| Global 'Warming' Debate (Krugman bitch-slapped) |

| Letter from Patrick J. Michaels, Professor of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia, Charlottesville - who knows his stuff and is therefore not a darling of the MSM. Editor, Times-Dispatch: Paul Krugman sure smeared me in his June 2nd column [link unavailable] accusing me of "fraud pure and simple" in congressional testimony eight (!) years ago. Krugman was incensed with my July 27, 1998, testimony before the House Committee on Small Business. In it, my purpose was to demonstrate that commonly held assumptions about climate change can be violated in a very few short years. |

| #5 Co-author, with Robert Balling, Jr., of The Satanic Gasses. Gotta wonder if that title was chosen purposefully to parallel The Satanic Verses. |

| #4 "Patrick Michaels is scientifically well-educated, knowledgeable, sensible, and normal. Bet almost no one here's ever heard of him." Co-author, with Robert Balling, Jr., of The Satanic Gasses. Got it in my "to read soon" stack, under about 3 feet of books on Islam. |

| #3 I'm currently reading STATE OF FEAR by Michael Crichton and its one long bitch slap of the environmental movement. Weak characters but he presents his data well and footnotes the hell out of it to cover himself (so did Bjorn Lomborg though and they nearly burned him as a heretic). |

| #2 bigjim - that's OK, doncha know. He's an elite, so his jet fuel doesn't actually pollute, like, say, the cars of us plebes. Know your place, man. |
