Frigid Greenland; Mann Case Seeks To Prevent Public Participating In Scientific Debate; + Ireland Tightens Noose Around Free Speech

The establishment doesn't want us talking anything contentious, and they'll slap us with the ambiguous offence of 'hate crime' and kick us from the town square if we dare to think out loud.

Frigid Greenland

Greenland has been holding exceptionally cold in recent weeks.

Continuing that them, a low of -56.3C (-69.3F) was noted on the island's Summit Camp early this morning (Feb 15):

That's actually a slight warm-up from yesterday's min of -56.6C (-69.9F).

Note, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) hasn't updated its SMB charts since Feb 9, meaning we don't know what affect this cold is having on the ice sheet.

Decent snowfall has been clipping the southern half of the island in recent days, meaning something of an uptick should have occurred. I'll post an update as soon as the Polar Portal website is functioning again.

Looking down today's 'cold list', second spot is taken by Verhojansk, Russia: -54C (-65.2F); and third by Antarctica, where the chill of winter is setting in early following what was a historically cold ‘summer’: -53.5C (-64.3F) was registered at Concordia.

Mann Case Seeks To Prevent Public Participating In Scientific Debate

The public should not participate in scientific debate, so reads a chilling editorial on the Mann vs Steyn case. It should be left to the experts—because what a stellar track record those guys have.

In a brief recap, Mark Steyn has lost the defamation trial surrounding Michael E. Mann’s fraudulent unbelievable temperature ‘hockey stick’, the chart front and center of the 2009 Climategate scandal.

The end of the world scare stories that the AGW Party trade were being exposed, their fearmongering was wearing ever-thinner with each uneventful passing of a 'tipping point' deadline, and so this problem of increasing public skepticism needed fixing.
