Yes, I know the quotes need to be paraphrased, but I wanted to get it up before the people deleting for advocacy (i.e. trying to suppress information about climate change that doesn't fit their politics) get rid of this stub. Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 21:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Controversy

edit

In this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7lgKjvAqt4&t=295 by "Tony Heller" an email is shown from Tom Wigley to Phil Jones (including email addresses) where they are discussing "correcting a blip". The title of the video is "Rewriting Iceland". Most of the video is about how climate scientists in the 70s predicted an ice age, and had different opinions about the climate than current climate scientists do. I should probably add "blip" to my search terms in order to resolve, so I can continue arguing with my preacher friend. Thanks! Thinkadoodle (talk) 15:01, 2 September 2019 (UTC).

Presumably "Tony Heller, an American better known by his blog pseudonym of 'Steven Goddard.' Heller’s blog seems to offer new “proof” each week that temperature data has been fudged, accompanied by reprocessing of the data in ways he thinks are better." [1] Not a reliable source for anything, especially "global cooling". . . dave souza, talk 18:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
