The What of Climategate
June 2010 By Robert Shoup
The theory of Anthropogenic Climate Warming (AGW) rests on a three-legged stool. The first leg of the stool is that is that global average temperatures are at historic highs. The second leg of the stool is that CO2 levels are also at historic highs. The third leg of the stool is that peer-reviewed articles on global warming show a clear consensus of opinion. As a result of the recent release of e-mails from Britain's Climate Research Unit, dubbed "Climategate" by the media, information and data have been made available that kicks all three legs out from under the stool.
