Last week, at a climate science hearing in the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, conservatives trotted out several experts to explain why climate change isn’t real including a lawyer, a marketing professor, and an economist. Also among this motley crew was Dr. Richard Muller a minor celebrity among the Right for his insistence that everyone else’s data on global warming was biased and flawed and that the proof was in the now-debunked “Climategate” emails.
It must have been extremely unpleasant for the assembled Republicans, corporate whores and others invested in obscuring the reality of climate change when Dr. Miller matched his own research against that of the top three organizations that are routinely cited by the “alarmists”.
This was the result:
[See article for graph]
You’ll note that his research (the black line) is almost indistinguishable.
He went on to say:
“We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups.
The world temperature data has sufficient integrity to be used to determine global temperature trends.”
And then just to rub salt in the wound:
“Based on our initial work at Berkeley Earth, I believe that some of the most worrisome biases are less of a problem than I had previously thought.”
Unfortunately for the good doctor, I’m sure he’s about to find that his Koch funding (which paid for roughly 25% of his research) is about to disappear quicker than the Arctic ice pack.

Hehe. I guess your'e right. But who knows? in the end none of us will be right or wrong, we all just need to treasure the moments we have left together ;)
We can do things now to lessen the damage to people in the future. We waste a lot of energy.
