It’s typical of global warming alarmists that they feel compelled to refute any and all criticism of the science of climate change, even when they must know that they appear ridiculous.
Geoffrey Lean, The Daily Telegraph’s environment correspondent was unable to wait even a week after the shocking admissions of Glaciergate before he tried to wrestle the narrative back with a story that claims that other glaciers are still shrinking. It’s as if he thinks an increasingly skeptical public will simply forget they were duped by the IPCC.
It’s also typical that he ignores glaciers that are growing and gives his readers only a portion of the whole truth in an effort to paper over the lies exposed by Glaciergate.
Lean’s problem, and the problem facing all alarmists now, is that post-Climategate there is a level of scrutiny co-mingled with skepticism at their every claim, so the modus operandi that served them well up to last November is no longer effective. Lies, half-truths and desperate claims of impending doom no longer work, but the alarmists haven’t realized that yet and until they do articles like Lean’s make them look weak and desperate.
