Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!
By S. Fred Singer
In discussing the recent release of some 5,000 Climategate e-mails, blogger
Anthony Watts uses the clever headline "They are real -- and they're
spectacular." He credits Jerry Seinfeld as the source. Following his

a Seinfeld episode -- in discussing the surface temperatures generally
reported for the latter part of the 20th century; they form the science
