I read this stuff, thought about it, and, being a little slow, I want to be sure that I understand this. So you’re telling me that:

- that the global warming edifice and attendant regulatory morass, infringement on individual liberty, and multi-trillion dollar costs is built on data from twelve (12 – count ‘em) trees? – in some obscure location in Siberia? Out of all the trees in Siberia, or, at least that part of Siberia?
- that the 12 trees were cherry picked from data from what – 30 trees?
- that this data was developed by one guy? In his basement?
- that this one guy refused for several years to release this data? He kept the data sealed in a mayonnaise jar in said basement and would not let anyone even peek at the data?
- that the refusal to release this data was aided and abetted by the scientific journal that published his results? Until finally said scientific journal changed its mind?
- that the results are not replicable using other data from the same area?
- that the guy that developed the 12 tree data set is now backing away from this?
- that everyone seems to be cool with this?

You’ve got to be kidding me! This looks like the biggest hoax since the Piltdown Man or at least the Korean dude with the stem cells or maybe Miss Cleo or Obama. This makes pro-wrestling look real. Somebody help me here.
