Bright Lights
In the December issue we showed images
of holiday lights (“Light It Up,” page 104–
105) and asked readers to send in some
of their own. This photo was submitted
by Sally Carson and her husband Larry
Meilak of Novato.
The Iceman Cometh
For an editorial page of a liberal magazine in
the most liberal county in the U. S., this was
a most daring piece to write (POV, “On Thin
Ice,” January 2013). And, I applaud you for
it. Just about everything that Bill Lindqvist
told you is true, verifiable, and well known to
everyone who has followed that issue for some
time. Meanwhile, the scientific process has
broken down within the climatology community. If businessmen and bankers were treating
financial data the way climatologists have fabricated temperature records, they would all be
put in jail. Somehow, among climatologists the
roles are reversed: The villains who fabricate
the data are glorified and given a Nobel Prize
while the heroic whistle-blowers are vilified
by the entire climatology community. Anyone
who questions the climatologists’ lack of scientific rigor is invariably treated as a global
warming skeptic or denier. GAE TAN LION, VIA EMAIL
