   Interesting video.

   Hannity, Beck, and one other Fox “news”caster in the video misquote Mann’s email, changing it from “hide the decline” to “hide the decline in temperature.” (Just as Geo. Will misquoted Trenberth on “This week” on 11/30/09).

   Misquoting makes their statements a lie, a slander, and thus actionable. Neither Mann nor Trenberth will sue their defamers of course, and it is probably a bad idea, but I would dearly love to see it.

   The video makes the point of reading the entire emails and related papers to debunk the Fox liars, but the beginning of the sentence alone debunks the lie: how does “adding in the real temps” . . . “hide the decline in temperature”?

   I have been saying ad nauseum that trees are in irreversible decline. I can see it, plain as day.

   Well, perhaps all the scientists involved in this controversy should consider that the reason an expected growth in the tree ring data diverge from the global temperature rise data is because toxic gases from mostly vehicular emissions are poisoning trees. The foliar damage to stomata by nitrous oxide, ozone, and peroxyacetyl nitrates from fossil fuels and lately, ethanol, are preventing vegetation from photosynthesizing and producing chlorophyll.

   In effect, we are starving the biosphere. This is a crucial, immediate emergency.

   We are on the verge of losing every tree and all their nuts and fruits and habitat for birds and mammals dependent upon them for food and shelter.

   Will people not wake up until it is way, way too late? When you have scientists frantically trying to preserve the DNA of fast vanishing corals, it gives one pause.

   Climatology is a study not a science.
