Al Gore's Family Linked to Corrupt Oilman 'The Vice President is often presented as a wooden and somewhat simple-minded clone of Mr Clinton. In fact his political background is far more interesting and complex. His political career developed out of that of his father, Senator Al Gore Sr of Tennessee, who gave up his position in 1971 to become head of the coal division of Hammer's oil company Occidental Petroleum. His annual salary was $500,000.' The Fraud Is Everywhere: SUNY Albany and Queens University Belfast Join Climategate 'Some of the emails leaked in Climategate discuss my work. Following is a comment on that, and on something more important. In 2007, I published a peer-reviewed paper alleging that some important research relied upon by the IPCC (for the treatment of urbanization effects) was fraudulent. The emails show that Tom Wigley — one of the most oft-cited climatologists and an extreme warming advocate — thought my paper was valid. They also show that Phil Jones, the head of the Climatic Research Unit, tried to convince the journal editor not to publish my paper.' Australia's Parliament Defeats Global Warming Bill 'Australia's Parliament defeated legislation to set up a greenhouse gas emissions trading system on Wednesday, throwing a central plank of the government's plans to combat global warming into disarray. The Senate, where Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's government does not hold a majority, rejected his administration's proposal for Australia to become one of the first countries to install a so-called cap-and-trade system to slash the amount of heat-trapping pollution that industries pump into the air.'.jpg)
