Hi Rap,

If I were to link a site dedicated to, I don't know, proving there's life on Mars, that selects only validating information, would you accept it as the answer on the topic? Probably not. That's the issue I had with those two links (to the same site).

I tried to penetrate the site you linked - which btw openly states it's anti-global warming - from it's home page:
"World Climate Report, a concise, hard-hitting and scientifically correct response to the global change reports which gain attention in the literature and popular press."

- anyway, I tried to penetrate the site - what credentials do the people have who post there, what is the level of information available (studies v editorials), and what are its potential biases (funding sources). After all, it's only a blog (again, from their home page: "This popular web log ...") A lot of supposed 'controversy' about global warming is directly funded by ExxonMobil for example.

I'll go back and look at the site again, but as far as I could tell it was not a credible source of information.

PS I looked at some of the posts. They are essentially uncredited editorials.
