One month since the Guardian published this piece of mindless propaganda.

Alarmists appear to be obsessed with little boys, but there are none in this picture.
Global warming is a man-made phenomenon. Those who made it happen were not the people burning fossil fuels, though. The culprits are the scientists who concocted and altered climate data during the past three decades in order to make it look like the rest of us were guilty.
The New York Times wasn’t always quite as sensitive over what they said about Native Americans. You might notice a subtle difference in tone.

The world’s greatest climatologist is James Hansen, who says that parts of Manhattan will be underwater by 2008.
While doing research 12 or 13 years ago, I met Jim Hansen, the scientist who in 1988 predicted the greenhouse effect before Congress. I went over to the window with him and looked out on Broadway in New York City and said, “If what you’re saying about the greenhouse effect is true, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?” He looked for a while and was quiet and didn’t say anything for a couple seconds. Then he said, “Well, there will be more traffic.” I, of course, didn’t think he heard the question right. Then he explained, “The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”
I was in Manhattan last weekend, and it didn’t appear to be underwater. There were a lot of police in Times Square, but they were busy fighting with Spiderman.
And so far, over the last 10 years, we’ve had 10 of the hottest years on record.
Didn’t he also say that restaurants would have signs in their windows that read, “Water by request only.”
Under the greenhouse effect, extreme weather increases. Depending on where you are in terms of the hydrological cycle, you get more of whatever you’re prone to get. New York can get droughts, the droughts can get more severe and you’ll have signs in restaurants saying “Water by request only.”
We had a lovely dinner in Manhattan, and were able to obtain water – both with and without ice.
When did he say this will happen?
Within 20 or 30 years. And remember we had this conversation in 1988 or 1989.
Does he still believe these things?
Yes, he still believes everything. I talked to him a few months ago and he said he wouldn’t change anything that he said then.
The great thing about progressives is that they can never learn anything, and that reality has no influence on their belief system.
USHCN raw monthly data (which is not really raw and already tampered) shows a long term cooling trend in the US.
The USHCN V1 adjustments just weren’t getting the job done, and weren’t able to keep up with the cooling trend
So they invented V2, with a spectacular hockey stick of adjustments – used to create the false impression that the US was warming.
The next graph shows both sets of adjustments on the same scale. It looks like someone forgot to double check their homework before they turned it in, because V2 and V1 adjustments don’t even vaguely resemble each other. They are supposed to be almost the same the algorithms. Close enough for government work though.
The next graph shows the impressive hockey stick of new data tampering they piled on to USHCN V2 – on top of the USHCN V1 tampering.
Climate experts say that this is all golden, and that I should shut up – because I just don’t know what I am talking about.
Alabama Power Co. will cut its workforce in half at its Plant Greene County by 2016 as it eliminates coal-burning units there. The action is because of new federal mandates to close coal-burning units at power plants, Alabama Power said Friday.
