MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO DARNED HOT – AT 8:15 P.M. ET:  More worries for Al Gore and his inconvenient truthers.  From the Financial Times:

A key piece of evidence in climate change science was slammed as “exaggerated” on Wednesday by the UK’s leading statistician, in a vindication of claims that global warming sceptics have been making for years.

Professor David Hand, president of the Royal Statistical Society, said that a graph shaped like an ice hockey stick that has been used to represent the recent rise in global temperatures had been compiled using “inappropriate” methods.

“It used a particular statistical technique that exaggerated the effect [of recent warming],” he said.

COMMENT:  Little by little, the truth comes out.  What we need now is a major investigation, or series of investigations, by the best panels we can find, to get to the bottom of this, before trillions of dollars are spent on a phantom.
