R.I.P. Global Warming, pt. 2

From the Telegraph: 2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved.

Secondly, 2008 was the year when any pretence that there was a "scientific consensus" in favour of man-made global warming collapsed. At long last, as in the Manhattan Declaration last March, hundreds of proper scientists, including many of the world's most eminent climate experts, have been rallying to pour scorn on that "consensus" which was only a politically engineered artefact, based on ever more blatantly manipulated data and computer models programmed to produce no more than convenient fictions.

A good read, and it reminds me of a very similar article that I linked to last year, and which proclaimed 2007 as "the year the global warming hoax died." Unfortunately the MSM is still flogging the dessicated remains of that horse. Many so-called "charitable" organizations that focus on the environment will not be willing to let it go easily, either, because they get a lot of money out of it. I was reminded of this by a blatantly false ad produced by WWF that I saw on TV yesterday, which made it look like the entire northern ice cap had been reduced to a few forlorn chunks of slush melting away into the ocean.

As much as I keep up with the news, I never heard anything about this Manhattan Declaration (yo MSM? FAIL). Here is a link about it.
