clipped from pajamasmedia.com A Harvard Crimson article from 2003 described what fate befell two Harvard scientists who dared to challenge Global Warming. The two scientists were subsequently excoriated in the strongest terms by Michael Mann and John Holdren, now Barack Obama’s science czar. The Crimson describes the reception they got. What was so blasphemous about their paper? A synopsis of Soon and Baliuna’s study describes what they did. Cambridge, MA – A review of more than 200 climate studies led by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the century with the most extreme weather of the past 1000 years.
