I'm hardly a fluffy liberal. As for the hockey stick controversy - there
wasn't one. That was hype based on a few discrepancies blown out of all
proportion by vested interests:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_stick_controversy

"At the request of Congress, a panel of scientists convened by the National Rese
arch Council was set up, which reported in 2006 supporting Mann's findings with
some qualifications, including agreeing that there were some statistical failing
s but these had little effect on the result."

"More than twelve subsequent scientific papers, using various statistical method
s and combinations of proxy records, produced reconstructions broadly similar to
the original MBH hockey-stick graph, with variations in how flat the pre-20th c
entury "shaft" appears. Almost all of them supported the IPCC conclusion that th
e warmest decade in 1000 years was probably that at the end of the 20th century"

I'll go with the science, you can go with the shills if you like.
