I suppose this is important to point out considering Soon has written papers suggesting polar bears are not in danger from AGW..... and that the leading biologist making the claim that they are in danger has just been suspended because his work on the subject appears to be unethically biased?

by the way this is OLD news. Greenpeace put this out some months ago. the fact that the gardian is "re-running it" smells odd.

here is some good reading on the hypocricy of Greenpeace as it relates to Willie Soon.

^nah, the important point is almost every organization involved with science-related subject-matter accepts man-made climate change as very real and a massive challenge.

Why don't you deniers have the guts to admit it is true, but you don't want the Gov't to do anything about it. That is acceptable, this ostrich act is getting old.
