Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air?:
"oldwindways writes 'The BBC reports that leading
climate researchers are concerned that the tone of
speculation surrounding many reports (scientific as
well as in the media) could be making it more

findings. This is especially troubling during what
some are calling the warmest US winter in years.'
